A PhD thesis at the College of Fine Arts at the University of Basrah discussed proposed sculptural designs for the entrances to the gates of government departments in Dhi Qar Governorate.
The thesis presented by researcher Mohamed Latif Mazyed included the completion of proposed sculptural designs to achieve new expressive, cognitive, aesthetic, structural and functional dimensions that reflect the state of interior buildings by employing sculpture and its interaction with architecture.
The thesis aims to prepare proposed sculptural designs for the entrances to the gates of government departments that reflect the internal function of the building in addition to achieving the aesthetic, expressive and structural aspect.
The thesis concluded that the work in designing the entrances of buildings has great difficulty that requires skill, knowledge and awareness from the designer, and that the physical embodiment of sculpture in architecture, especially the gates, has its ancient civilizational extensions.
