In order to deepen links between
the architectural sectors in Qatar
and Britain, the British Council
organised a week-long design
residency in Doha in March 2016.
The programme, entitled ‘Open
City’, invited teams to develop new
approaches and innovative design
solutions to creating accessible
cities. The winning team, “City of
Play”—made up of two Britons and
42
three Gulf residents—proposed a
contemporary city that “builds upon
the best of its past in order to cater
for new urban communities” and
was awarded a £15,000 grant to
help develop the proposal over the
coming year.
