<strong>Qatar</strong> has achieved in record time an exceptional<br />
economic growth expected to carry on in line with <strong>Qatar</strong>’s<br />
National Vision 2<strong>03</strong>0 which is based on the guiding<br />
principles of the Constitution and the directions of HH<br />
the Emir Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani and his Heir<br />

This National Vision aims at turning <strong>Qatar</strong> into an<br />
advanced country capable of achieving sustainable<br />
development and continuity of decent living for its nation<br />
generation after generation by the year 2<strong>03</strong>0.<br />
Design Alliance 250 <strong>Qatar</strong> was established in 20<strong>12</strong>,<br />

construction of cities, extracting its vision from innovative<br />
engineering designs and inspired by our original Arab<br />

Likewise, <strong>Qatar</strong>’s winning the hosting of the Football<br />
World Cup 2022 added to its demographic growth and<br />
construction boom call for solidarity and true effort to<br />
attain a respectful and honorable rise up to the occasion.<br />

As <strong>Qatar</strong>’s population continues to expand, places<br />
and spaces need to be created to support increased<br />
business opportunities, entice tourists to visit, encourage<br />
healthy lifestyles, and educate citizens of all ages.<br />
While expansion continues, existing structures must be<br />
strengthened to provide links to the country’s history<br />
and culture. DA 250 <strong>Qatar</strong> will design <strong>Qatar</strong>’s future and<br />
preserve its past.

E-VOLo skyscraper competition<br />
This competition entry was created as part of ongoing<br />
research into the contemporary skyscraper. It reenvisions<br />
the Chicago Board of Trade and is inspired by the original<br />
elements traded there, such as corn and wheat. Through<br />
the integration of natural form and innovative tectonics,<br />
the tower becomes more than simply a static object in the<br />
sky, it is an active participant in the environmental and<br />
social dynamics surrounding it.

the Old Harbour of Trieste<br />
ITALY<br />
The project concerns the transformation of two port<br />
wharfs, currently used for commercial purposes, in two<br />
harbours properly equipped for mooring of mega yachts<br />
and similar shipping purposes. The objective is to create<br />
an adequate structure that would be able to keep up with<br />
the expansion of sea tourism on a large scale in one of the<br />
most magnificent coastal areas of Italy (Trieste - northern<br />
Adriatic) where the conditions are particularly favorable<br />
for the development and promotion of such activities.

study provided an opportunity to learn from the natural<br />
systems on how to plan restoration of the marshes, and to<br />
identify effective strategies for reinstating the fishing and<br />
agricultural production to bring the original population<br />
back. The feasibility study aimed at increasing the<br />
availability of freshwater.
