CASE STUDY 03Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC), Qatar

INTRODUCTION

The Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC) is being built in Doha as part of the Qatar Foundation Education City. Qatar Foundation is a non-profit organisation founded by Emir of the State of Qatar Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani in 1995.

Conceptual design of the QNCC was provided by Yamasaki Architects and RHWL, based on a design conceived by Arata Isozaki. The convention centre will have advanced solutions and form a benchmark in international venue design. Apart from exhibitions and conferences, the convention centre will host local and international music and arts festivals, and international events such as boat and motor shows.Design on the QNCC started in 2006 and was completed in the first quarter of 2009. The 177,000m convention centre development is estimated to cost $1.2bn upon completion.

Concept The convention centre will be a six-storey structure with a basement measuring about 250m long and 110m wide. The iconic design of the building will be a huge organic structure resembling two intertwined trees in the main faade. It represents Sidra Tree, a beloved and multifaceted icon in Qatari culture and the emblem of the Qatar Foundation. The tree is a beacon of learning and comfort in the desert, a shady haven for poets and scholars who gather beneath its branches to share knowledge. The tree structure will act as the main entrance and also support the external canopy of the building.

Structure/construction"The convention centre will be a six-storey structure with a basement measuring about 250m long and 110m wide.

The building structure was constructed upside down from roof deck to the foundations using Macalloy bars to reduce costs. The 250m-long organic Sidra Tree metal structures were fabricated in Malaysia and shipped for assembly to Doha. The concrete roof deck of the building will be a 40m-long and 30m-wide structure supported by the tree structures.

The steel tree structures grow from two concrete bases along the faade and divide into four branches. They are made with structural core of octagonal tubes. The iconic Sidra Tree branch faade will change its colour daily due to six undercoats.
