Museum of Islamic Art Doha, Qatar
This museum will house an important collection of Islamic art and will include a public reception area, exhibition galleries and education activities area, technical and administrative space and support services area. This project includes five different bridges. A pair of stacked vehicular bridges and a single pedestrian bridge provide the sole means of access to the museum's offshore location on the bay. The bridges are cast-in-situ tapered sections of architectural concrete. Inside the facility, three pedestrian bridges structured in metal and glass span the central atrium. |
