Yup, its approved. It will definitely get built, and this is the basic design but variations might exist. source: gulfconstructionworldwide.com.

The Doha high rise tower is cylindrical and measures about 45m in diameter. It is capped by a dome and topped by a lightning conductor at 231,50m. The structure is of steel and concrete on a lozenge grid bending upon the virtual surface of the cylinder. The façade is composed of a double cladding. The exterior which evokes the geometric complexity of the oriental moucharabieh and acts as main solar protection is composed of four " butterfly" aluminium elements of different scales. Its overall pattern is different according to orientations and needs for different protection: 25% towards north, 40% towards south, 60% on east and west. The inside layer is a slightly reflective glass skin to complement solar protection. Last a system of roller-blinds can be used if needed.
Each floor is offered panoramic views towards the Gulf on the east, the port on the south, the city on the west, the coast and the desert on the north.
The tower is accessed through a planted garden sloping gently towards the large lobby under a glass canopy surrounding the building, suggesting that the tower is deeply rooted in earth. Vegetation and glass canopy overlap so as to blur the limits between nature and man made environment. A huge atrium rises up to level 27 at 112m high. Tall and slim, glittering in its silvery laced silhouette against the skyline, the tower is bound to become a fine landmark on the Doha Corniche.

I was looking at the foundation work of this building today from my office. They started work before Feb. of this year. U know how far they got !! They dog a big hole half the time, then they buried it, and now theyre building a new bigger hole. Lets not mention the 5 story high sand pile theyve created. If it was dubai the building would of been built by now !

By the way I think that the architect, Jean Nouvel, did not put too much effort into this tower, it's more like a duplicate of his Agbar Tower in Barcelona..

It also looks similar to the building in London

Actually, i found out that Torre Agbar is from Jean Nouvel during an expo, and at first i thought they made a mistake.. i told the conference guy that it was a project of him in Qatar, he told me no, and i was about to argue with him for i was sure!! Confusing isnt it? :D
Halawala

But, this tower is much larger and better than the one in Spain.

I have to say that even though there is an uncanning resemblance to the two towers in spain and london, I think the facade (pattern) will give it a beautiful touch, although it might not be shown properly in the pictures, but when its done and at 230m high, it will give it a very unique look.
Halawala
November 21st, 2006, 11:10 PM
Yes it will look good and unique in Qatar. Thanks suzan for the pics!

I think the same way you do Halawala, I believe this building will look good! And like you said Gulfexpress, the facace sounds very promising! Jean Nouvel can be especially good at this patterns/texture thing, his works at the Arab World Institute in Paris or the court in Nantes are wonderful!

DOHA HIGH RISE TOWER will be a great one to Doha's sky line...... u guys were wondering why is it taking too long........ did u know that this tower has 4 basements .....if you pass by the corniche you will see that its done with the ground floor and is up three to four floors already..... such projects take time at the beginning....one more thing the contractor are Chinese and once they start on the typical floor they will become like human machines and finish it in a day or two..... i think this will be the best looking tower in Doha..... :) :)

One thing I like about this tower is the type of support its getting. From the exterior the concrete structure cris-crosses the whole tower. Do you know those big apples you buy from the market--the genetically modified apples? Well, usually, you will have a styrofoam pocket that wraps each apple. The concrete columns resemble those styrofoam pockets.

In reality, it looks huge from ground level--which is strange since most towers look tiny when they are at ground level. But, the thing is it is sooo slow since the construction method is very difficult to do.

Please can anyone let me know the tallest building in Qatar at present and the tallest building planned for future. I think doha convention centre building will be the tallest with 105 storeys by 2010.
