This volume is published on the occasion of the opening of the National Museum of Qatar in the stateª¡s capital, Doha. It explores and celebrates architect Jean Nouvelª¡s innovative design which, inspired by the desert rose with its interlocking disks, responds to the countryª¡s desert location by the sea. The museum, built around Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al-Thaniª¡s original 19th-century palace, honours Qatarª¡s heritage while looking to its future as a thriving cultural hub.
