Al Thumama Sports Training Complex

Client: Qatar Olympic Committee
Location: Doha, Qatar
Size: 54.600 m2

AlThumama is a “Place making project”, with its own personality, being more than a building itself, AlThumama Sports Complex will become a big infrastructure inside the city, with a positive interaction between local neighbours and the whole city. Althumama will attract people and families to enjoy sport and required special event experiences.

The design of this big Sport infrastructure takes a central winding path, being a central spine, with access to the various pavilions with specific sport uses. The design takes the idea of “A city inside a city”, so in small scale the building itself is the sum of different buildings with a homogenous architectural scheme.

This building village has got its own streets, plazas, rest and shadow areas, etc. solving the problem of the big scale project, transforming the interstitial space into a terrific architectural promenade.
