Designed by Jean Nouvel, Doha Tower or Burj Qatar is designed to look like the traditional mud and clay bird towers that still exist in parts of Qatar.
The tower’s cladding, meanwhile, mimics the Islamic mashrabiya, or screen, used for dividing a room.
Gray during the day and lit orange by night, Doha Tower won the CTBUH Skyscraper Award for the Best Tall Building Worldwide from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat in 2012.
