Al Asmakh Project |DOHA - QATAR |
Al Asmakh is one of the richest historical sites of Doha, near the famous Souk Waqif and the new Msheireb project. Located in the heart of Doha; AI Asmakh dates back to the 1930s and is the largest among the surviving districts. Despite many demolitions around its edges, inside it has retained a more coherent fabric, with nu¬merous blocks of old Qatari houses.
Its value is incalculable, both culturally and economically. AI Asmakh presents a significant opportunity for revitalization of a decayed and run-down neighbourhood.
The ambition is to create a walkable, sustainable and ethical place, which projects the valuable architectural heritage and memory of the existing fabric but also enables it to become flexible and adaptable for the pre¬sent and future of Qatar.
