When I am walking through the museum I am looking for “constancy”, are all of the “parts” of the museum adding up to a consistent “whole” that builds a brand? There is not a right or wrong approach, as long as the parts add up to a consistent message.

Al-Shaheed Monument (Arabic: نصب الشهيد), also known as the Martyr's Memorial, is a monument in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, dedicated to the Iraqi soldiers who died in the Iran-Iraq war. The Monument was opened in 1983, and was designed by the Iraqi architect Saman Kamal and the Iraqi sculptor and artist Ismail Fattah al-Turk. During the 1970s and 1980s, Saddam Hussein's government spent a lot of money on new monuments, which included the al-Shaheed MonumentThe monument consists of a circular platform 190 meters in diameter[1] in the center of an artificial lake. On the platform sits a 40-meter tall[2] split turquoise dome, which resembles the domes of the Abbasid era. The two halves of the split dome are offset, with an eternal flame in the middle. The shells are constructed of a galvanized steel frame with glazed turquoise ceramic tile cladding which was pre-cast in carbon fiber reinforced concrete. The interior is oculant, being that under the Iraqi flag, there is an open hole, or oculus, providing light below. The rest of the site consists of parks, a playground, parking lots, walkways, Bridges, and the lake.
