The Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC) is being built in Doha as part
of the Qatar Foundation Education City. Qatar Foundation is a non-profit
organisation founded by Emir of the State of Qatar Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa
Al-Thani in 1995.
Conceptual design of the QNCC was provided by Yamasaki Architects and RHWL,
based on a design conceived by Arata Isozaki. The convention centre will
have advanced solutions and form a benchmark in international venue design.
Apart from exhibitions and conferences, the convention centre will host
local and international music and arts festivals, and international events
such as boat and motor shows.
Design on the QNCC started in 2006 and was completed in the first quarter
of 2009. The 177,000m² convention centre development is estimated to cost
$1.2bn upon completion.
Concept
The convention centre will be a six-storey structure with a basement
measuring about 250m long and 110m wide. The iconic design of the building
will be a huge organic structure resembling two intertwined trees in the
main façade. It represents Sidra Tree, a beloved and multifaceted icon in
Qatari culture and the emblem of the Qatar Foundation. The tree is a beacon
of learning and comfort in the desert, a shady haven for poets and scholars
who gather beneath its branches to share knowledge. The tree structure will
act as the main entrance and also support the external canopy of the
building.
Structure/construction
"The convention centre will be a six-storey structure with a basement
measuring about 250m long and 110m wide.“
The building structure was constructed upside down from roof deck to the
foundations using Macalloy bars to reduce costs. The 250m-long organic Sidra
Tree metal structures were fabricated in Malaysia and shipped for assembly to
Doha. The concrete roof deck of the building will be a 40m-long and 30m-wide
structure supported by the tree structures.
The steel tree structures grow from two concrete bases along the façade and
divide into four branches. They are made with structural core of octagonal
tubes. The iconic Sidra Tree branch façade will change its colour daily due
to six undercoats.
