National Museum of Qatar

Work: The National Museum of Qatar – An identity takes form. Qatar is a young nation in the Persian Gulf, a peninsula, a tongue surrounded by water where the desert reaches into the sea. The Qatari descend from a nomadic Arabian people who settled in this maritime desert. Some became fishermen, others hunted for pearls. Some looked to the nation’s hidden treasures, the resources that lay beneath the sand or under the sea. Others, inspired by their country’s central location in the Gulf, began to talk, to communicate, to reach out. The impulse for this metamorphosis came from Doha. A glance at photographs of Doha in the 1950s and 1960s, compared with today, is sufficient to understand how much this part of the world has changed. From a little village, it has become a capital. What could be more natural, then, than the desire to testify, to talk about identification, about the evolving identity of this country as it reveals itself on the sensitive paper of history? And what could be more logical than to give concrete expression to this identification process in a National Museum of Qatar that will relate the physical, human and economic geography of the country, together with its history? One place was symbolically destined to fulfill this role: the cradle of the Al Thani family in Doha; a modest, noble, simple palace from where this twentieth-century adventure began. It stands at the city’s southern entrance, the busiest urban gateway as it also welcomes visitors arriving from the airport. The architectural study which initially was coupled with the programmatic study, brought to light the underlying paradox of this project: to show what is hidden, to reveal a fading image, to anchor the ephemeral, to put the unspoken into words, to reveal a history which has not had the time to leave a mental imprint; a history that is a present in flight, an energy in action. The National Museum of Qatar is proof patent of how intense this energy is. Of course it will be home to the traditional geological and archaeological artefacts; of course tents, saddles and the dishes will bear witness to nomadic life; of course there will be fishermen’s utensils, boats and nets. Most importantly, though, it will spark an awareness that could only otherwise be encountered, experienced, after months spent in the desert, in pursuit of the particularities that elude our grasp except when the whims of Time and Nature allow. Or by taking a helicopter or 4WD to discover the contrasts and stretches of beach of the Qatari peninsula. Everything in this museum works to make the visitor feel the desert and the sea. The museum’s architecture and structure symbolize the mysteries of the desert’s concretions and crystallizations, suggesting the interlocking pattern of the bladelike petals of the desert rose. A nomadic people builds its capital city and talks about it through this emblematic monument built with the most contemporary construction tools (steel, glass and fibre concrete), and will communicate through high-definition cinema, incorporating visitors’ movements into its museography : this museum is a modern-day caravanserai. From there you leave for the desert and you return from it bringing back treasures: images that remain forever engraved on your memory. This is more than just a metaphor. The National Museum of Qatar will have 4WDs, helicopters and the fastest boats for visiting the unvisitable. Just as Al Jazzera emits a voice which has become that of the Gulf, so the National Museum of Qatar will become Qatar’s voice of culture, delivering a message about the metamorphosis of modernity and the beauty that happens when the desert meets the sea. Jean Nouvel.

The information that follows is from the Qatar Museums Authority:

Marking the next stage of its program to develop Qatar into a hub of culture and communications for the Gulf region and the world, the Qatar Museums Authority (QMA) today revealed its plans for the new National Museum of Qatar, as expressed in a striking and evocative design by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel.

Embodying the pride and traditions of Qatar’s people while offering international visitors a dialogue about rapid change and modernization, the National Museum of Qatar will be the setting for a program in which entire walls become cinematic displays, “sonorous cocoons”, shelter oral-history presentations and hand-held mobile devices guide visitors through thematic displays of the collection’s treasures. Though built around an historic structure, the Fariq Al Salatah Palace, which had served as a museum of heritage since 1975, the National Museum of Qatar is conceived and designed as a thoroughly new institution, in keeping with the high aspirations that animate QMA.

Jean Nouvel’s design manifests both the active, dynamic aspect of the Museum’s program and its crystallization of the Qatari identity, in a building that, like a desert rose, appears to grow out of the ground and be one with it. Prominently located on a 1.5 million-square-foot site at the south end of Doha’s Corniche, where it will be the first monument seen by travelers arriving from the airport, the building takes the form of a ring of low-lying, interlocking pavilions, which encircle a large courtyard area and encompass 430,000 square feet of indoor space.

In its organization, the building suggests the image of a caravanserai—the traditional enclosed resting place that supported the flow of commerce, information and people across desert trade routes—and so gives concrete expression to the identity of a nation in movement. The tilting, interpenetrating disks that define the pavilions’ floors, walls and roofs, clad on the exterior in sand-colored concrete, suggest the bladelike petals of the desert rose, a mineral formation of crystallized sand found in the briny layer just beneath the desert’s surface.

‘The National Museum of Qatar is the next world-class institution that QMA is creating for our people and for our international community’, stated Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa Bint Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, Chairperson, Qatar Museums Authority. ‘Following the very successful opening in 2008 of the Museum of Islamic Art, which showcases an artistic tradition that spans half the globe, we now look to Qatar’s immediate culture and environment—physical and immaterial, historic and contemporary. With this newest project, announced in the year when Doha is the Capital of Arab Culture, we move closer to realizing QMA’s vision of building a forward-looking, sustainable Qatar.’

Abdulla Al Najjar, Chief Executive Officer of QMA, stated, ‘Taking as its seed the historic palace that was Qatar’s oldest museum, this dramatic project creates an unprecedented 21st century experience celebrating the culture, heritage and future of Qatar and its people. It is characteristic of the spirit of QMA that we have faithfully preserved and incorporated the original palace, respecting this icon of our past, while realizing the astonishing new vision that Jean Nouvel has so brilliantly captured.’

According to Peggy Loar, Director of the National Museum of Qatar, ‘At this unparalleled new institution, Qataris will be able to discover more about their immediate ancestors and their roots in the region, learn about the formation of Qatar’s early cities and above all be exposed to the historical, material culture and intangible heritage represented in the collections. International visitors will come away with a better understanding of the life of the Gulf region, of the specific history of the Qatari people and of the initiatives underway today to advance education, develop every aspect of culture and pursue a program of sustainability. We are extremely fortunate that in realizing this program we have the vision of Jean Nouvel, whose design is at once a masterwork of contemporary architecture and an evocation of the timeless desert.’

Commenting on his design, Jean Nouvel stated, ‘This museum is a modern-day caravanserai. From here you leave the desert behind, returning with treasured images that remain engraved on your memory. The National Museum of Qatar will become the voice of a culture, delivering a message of modernity, metamorphosis and the beauty that happens when the desert meets the sea.’

Details of the Building

The National Museum of Qatar building will provide 86,000 square feet of permanent gallery space, 21,500 square feet of temporary gallery space, a 220-seat auditorium, a 70-seat food forum / TV studio, two cafés, a restaurant and a museum shop. Separate facilities are provided for school groups and special guests. Staff facilities include a heritage research center, restoration laboratories, staff offices and collection processing and storage areas. The Museum will be surrounded by a 1.2 million-square-foot landscaped park that interprets a Qatari desert landscape.

Inspired by the desert rose, the interlocking disks that compose the building—some of them standing more or less upright and acting as support elements, others lying more or less horizontal—are of varying curvature and diameter. The disks are made of steel truss structures assembled in a hub-and-spoke arrangement and are clad in glass fiber reinforced concrete panels. Columns concealed within the vertical disks carry the loads of the horizontal disks to the ground.

Glazed facades fill the voids between disks. Perimeter mullions are recessed into the ceiling, floor and walls, giving the glazing a frameless appearance when viewed from the outside. Deep disk-shaped sun-breaker elements filter incoming sunlight.

Like the exterior, the interior is a landscape of interlocking disks. Floors are sand-colored polished concrete, while the vertical disk walls are clad in ‘stuc-pierre,’ a traditional gypsum- and lime-blended plaster formulated to imitate stone.

Thermal buffer zones within the disk cavities will reduce cooling loads, while the deep overhangs of the disks will create cool, shady areas for outdoor promenades and protect the interior from light and heat. Steel and concrete, the main materials of the building, will be locally sourced and/or fabricated. The landscaping will feature sparse native vegetation with low water consumption. Through these and other sustainability measures, the Museum is working to achieve a USGBC LEED Silver rating.

The Museum’s gardens are specifically designed for the intense climate of Qatar. Plantings will include native grasses and indigenous plants, such as pomegranate trees, date palms, herbs and the Sidra tree, the national tree of Qatar. Landscaping will feature sand dunes and stepped garden architecture to create sitting areas and spaces for the Museum’s programs of tours and garden lectures.

Exhibitions and Collections

A tour of the Museum will take visitors through a loop of galleries that address three major, interrelated themes. These are the natural history of the Qatar peninsula, with its flora and fauna that have adapted to this intense environment of sand and sea; the social and cultural history of Qatar, with its traditions, values and stories that spring from the close, age-old interaction between the people and the natural world; and the history of Qatar as a nation, from the 18th century to the dynamic present.

The displays and installations that explore these themes will integrate exciting and involving audiovisual displays, some of them realized on an architectural scale, with carefully selected treasures from the Museum’s collections. These collections currently consist of approximately 8,000 objects and include archeological artifacts, architectural elements, heritage household and traveling objects, textiles and costumes, jewelry, decorative arts, books and historical documents. The earliest items date from the end of the last Ice Age (about 8000 BC). The Bronze Age (about 2000 – 1200 BC) is represented, as are the Hellenistic and early Islamic periods. The Museum also has examples of weapons and other objects from the period of the tribal wars and more contemporary decorative objects used for everyday living.

About the Qatar Museums Authority

The National Museum of Qatar is being developed by the Qatar Museums Authority, which under the leadership of its Chairperson, H.E. Sheikha Al Mayassa Bint Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, is transforming the State of Qatar into a cultural hub of the Middle East. Qatar Museums Authority was created in December 2005 to combine the resources of all museums in the State of Qatar. The QMA’s vision revolves around the provision of a comprehensive umbrella under which future plans will be drawn for the development of national museums and the establishment of an effective system for collecting, protecting, preserving and interpreting historic sites, monuments and artifacts.

曾獲頒2008年普立茲克建築獎的法國建築師尚。努維爾(Jean Nouvel), 2010年

於紐約現代藝術博物館(MoMA)公布其所設計的卡達國家博物館（National Museum of Qatar）設計案模型，再度引起建築及文化界的注目。努維爾(Jean Nouvel)對國家博物館設計構想的出發點，是基於卡達(Qatar) 在面臨快速變遷的現代化環境衝擊下，如何在現代文明與傳統文化，以 及西方國家與阿拉伯世界中，尋找出一個平衡的設計方案。 他設計的意象來自沙漠原生的沙漠玫瑰(desert rose)。卡達博物館的設計就
如同一叢在沙漠中歷經年月之後結晶而成的風化石玫瑰，綻放在無垠的大 漠之上；又如同在那久遠的年代裏，行走於沙漠中商旅隊伍的中途驛站，如今卻肩負著現代大漠子民探索先民生活的門戶。一片片如同玫瑰花瓣的大圓碟交錯疊起博物館的主體。這些大圓碟內部 為放射型的鋼桁架，外部包覆著玻璃纖維強化水泥，以不同角度傾斜、
互相交叉，扮演著牆體。隱藏在圓碟內部主結構為鋼筋混凝土的柱與樓 板支撐這些交錯的大圓碟。碟狀結構的邊緣極薄，營造出整個建築的輕 盈感。從建築上方向下望，可以看到一組一組的圓碟互相連接成戶外平 台，在博物館中央圍出一塊露天中庭。
圓碟交會處的空間，以玻璃外牆包覆。玻璃外牆向內退縮。所有框架均隱 藏而不外露。退縮的目的是可藉助外伸的圓碟作為烈日下遮陽板的作用, 不外露的框架使得「沙漠玫瑰」的外觀上不至被破壞。除了大圓碟有效的 遮陽效果之外，本土建材的使用、稀疏的原生植栽庭園、低用度的澆灌用 水…等設計，使「卡達國家博物館」正在爭取美國綠建築委員會所頒的 『領先能源環境設計』(LEED)的銀質評等。

Нет, не те диски, на которые записаны музыка, фильмы, игры и прочая информация. Диски для строительства Национального музея в Катаре будут железобетонными конструкциями со стальным каркасом, а те пустоты, которые образуются после “укладывания” этих конструкций в здание нужной формы, автор проекта, французский архитектор Жан Нувель (Jean Nouvel) намеревается закрыть стеклянными перегородками. В итоге получится что-то невероятное, похожее на сваленные в кучу гигантские тарелки, оставшиеся после вечеринки нерях-великанов.

Разумеется, у автора проекта, Жана Нувеля, свой взгляд на то, что вскоре может превратиться в National Museum of Qatar. Ведь не зря его творение стало лауреатом знаменитой Прицкеровской премии. Нарочитая неряшливость и разрозненность дисков, согласно авторской задумке, должно символизировать грядущие перемены и модернизацию архитектуры в частности и жизни в Катаре в целом. Поэтому Национальный музей и был спроектирован таким особенным, непохожим ни на одно из уже существующих строений.

Впрочем, сравнение с тарелками великанов может оказаться поспешным, ведь проект находится лишь в стадии разработки. И очень может быть, что в конечном итоге вся эта груда железобетонных дисков разного диаметра, из которых в новом музее будут сформированы и стены, и полы, и потолки, перестанет выглядеть настолько неопрятно.

Кстати, о другом “непохожем” строении Катара мы писали еще раньше. Это был проект Дворца Съездов под названием Sidra Tree.

Le projet définitif pour le Musée national du Qatar a été présenté par Jean Nouvel au Moma de New York. Le nouveau musée, qui s’inscrit dans un programme ambitieux de développement culturel, se présente comme un caravansérail moderne dont la forme rappelle celle de la rose du désert.

Jean Nouvel a récemment présenté le projet définitif pour le Musée national du Qatar. Situé à l’extrémité de la promenade du bord de mer de Doha, la capitale du Qatar, le musée s’inscrit dans un programme ambitieux de développement culturel, l’intention étant celle d’avoir un musée d’une importance mondiale qui puisse être le lien entre le passé de l’Émirat, son présent sur la scène internationale et son futur. La nouvelle construction, qui dispose de salles pour l’exposition des collections permanentes nationales, estimées aux alentours de 8 000 pièces, et de galeries pour les expositions temporaires, sans compter les locaux de service, les restaurants, les cafés et le museum-shop, se dressera autour du Palais de Fariq Al Salatah, qui a abrité le Musée national depuis 1975. L’édifice doit sa forme en anneau aux différents éléments placés autour de la cour centrale. Chaque élément se compose de disques, dont l’inclinaison et le diamètre varient, qui se croisent. S’inspirant nettement de la rose du désert, une formation minérale typique des zones désertiques, le musée ressemble à un caravansérail moderne, la construction qui protégeait et offrait un abri aux caravanes de voyageurs et de commerçants qui traversaient le désert.

האדריכל הצרפתי ז’או נובל תכנן מוזיאון לאומי חדש בקטר.
בקונספט שמאחורי התכנון התיחס נובל לתרבות הבדואית המקומית הנכחדת, יחד עם הקידמה ואיכויות המדבר.

ההשראה החלה מ”ורד המדבר” שהינם צורות קריסטליות שנוצרות מתחת לפני השטח של המדבר.
המבנה ייבנה מבטון וברזל מייצור מקומי. הצורניות המובילה הינה מעין דיסקיות ענק המשתלבות זו בזו. חלקן מהוות תמיכה קונסטרוקטיבית, חלקן כמחיצות. הדיסקיות ייבנו מקונסטרוקצית ברזל בחיפוי סיבי זכוכית.
הפריצה של המבנה מתוך האדמה מייצגת את ההתפתחות של קטר.
