As designed, the Olympic Stadium in Baghdad was to be one of Le Corbusier’s most sophisticated, and mysterious works. Innovative engineering and spatial effects would combine, creating a building of both force and grace.

The stadium project, however, ran into difficulties. Uncompleted, it is little-known. Now reconstruct this significant masterwork dating from Le Corbusier’s later career. And why not couple it with a visit to the exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum, The Olympic Stadium Project: Le Corbusier and Baghdad|, or combine it with some of the events and activities provided at the V&A in connection with the display?
