| Abstract: |
Barahat Al Nouq is the central square of the heart of Doha, capital of Qatar. Following traditional Arabic architecture, the new roof construction is reinterpreting ancient building elements which already functioned adaptive and responding. This is also the case with the new retractable roof with its movable membrane covered shading panels. |
