Doha, QATAR
La Qatar Foundation si occupa della promozione, della ricerca e dello sviluppo della comunità nella regione. Per esprimere l’identità unica e l’autorevolezza della nuova sede, gli architetti di OMA hanno progettato la forma di un cubo generico: la semplicità del cubo contrasta nettamente con gli edifici dalle forme irregolari che dominano a Doha e, in generale, in Qatar.
The cube-shaped building, with an area of over 29,000 square meters and a height of 57 meters, consists of two overlapping volumes separated by a terrace; inside it is possible to find 3 main areas: The Executive Tower, the Staff Tower and the Her Royal Highness’ wing, where Sheikha Moza bint Nasser – president of the Qatar Foundation – and all her support team have special spaces.
The power of PUK outdoor lighting products used in the project plays a key role in enhancing the distinctive architecture of the building. Highlighting the clean lines and rigorous geometry of the cube, at night the carefully calibrated lighting transforms the building into a beacon of modernity and innovation, underlining the Qatar Foundation’s commitment to excellence and progress. Thanks to PUK, the entire structure not only shines with an iconic light, but also conveys a sense of authority and prestige.
