Barzan Tower


Each highrise building in Doha has a unique design. This is Barzan Tower, near my house. The architects took a regular steel-cased highrise and placed a traditional Qatari house 'cutout' on the bottom. The building signifies the direction both Doha and Qatar have taken, evolving from a relatively uninhabited desert peninsula to rapidly becoming one of the premier cities in the Middle East.
