The American Institute of Architects, Middle East Chapter, has issued a call for papers for its 11th Year End Conference and Design Awards, which will be held in the Doha, Qatar from November 22nd to November 23rd, 2024.
This year's theme is "Qatar: Morphogenesis of a Pearl"
Qatar's architecture has evolved mirroring the nation's rapid growth and global aspirations. It is marked by a dynamic mix of traditional influences and cutting-edge designs, reflecting both its rich cultural heritage and its ambitions as a global hub.
With this conference, we will dig into the details of how the Urban Fabric of the country sets a bold and daring example of unity in diversity. Qatar has developed from a pearl and fishing village into a modern metropolis with innovative and futuristic architecture in the last four decades. This conference is an opportunity to dive into the architectonics of this rapid transformation. The country presents a wide range of buildings that reflect its identity and heritage while balancing functional, climatic and sustainable demands for both small scale and large scale projects.
We will also explore how sustainability has played a pivotal role in the development of the country’s built form. Join us in exploring Qatar’s evolutionary development and experiencing the morphogenesis of the nation which we refer to as the Pearl.
