  • Integrated Approach for the Improvement of Human Comfort in the Public Realm: the Case of the Corniche, the Linear Urban Link of Doha
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Qatar University Institutional Repository American Journal of Sociological Research 2015, 5(4): 89-100 DOI: 10.5923/j.sociology.20150504.01 Integrated Approach for the Improvement of Human Comfort in the Public Realm: The Case of the Corniche, the Linear Urban Link of Doha Mooza AlMohannadi, Samar Zaina, Sara Zaina, Raffaello Furlan* College of Engineering Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, Qatar University, Doha, Qatar Abstract The Corniche is a public realm located in Doha. Its waterfront palm-fringed boulevard and twin carriageway extends in a horseshoe shape and runs 7 km along the Doha Bay and the city's sea-front. Doha Corniche is indisputably the most attractive part of Doha, studded with exciting green surroundings and remarkable modern architecture. The Corniche was formed during the late 1970s and early 1980s, reshaping Doha’s coastline. The public space used to be an empty walkway, however development has expanded in the 21st century with many skyscrapers being built towards the north of the Corniche. Presently, the Doha Corniche is an appealing designation of the economic boom. Today a rapid development of the built environment of Doha including public urban open spaces is witnessed. Open spaces are functional under the circumstance that they are used by the people; however, the open spaces in Doha are vacant due to the unappealing and uncomfortable physical and non-physical factors, namely during summer. This paper proposes an integrated approach for improvement of human comfort conditions in a public outdoor space all year round with emphasis on the summer season.

    History of Nunawading Cricket Club Nunawading, What’s in a name To get a wider understanding of how the Club started and, in fact, how the BHRDCA started it is worth spending a while discussing the history of the Nunawading and Box Hill districts. There is a strong correlation between the ‘parishes’ of Nunawading, in particular, and Box Hill and the longer serving BHRDCA teams, Nunawading included. Over the next few paragraphs, I will provide a brief history of how Nunawading, formerly Tunstall, came to be and it’s progress from a rural bushland into the busy middle class suburb it has been since the war. The First people of Nunawading When white men first arrived in Victoria, in 1835 the indigenous Aboriginal community was displaced and had to move from traditional grounds, being occupied by Europeans, to displaced locations. When this displacement occurred to the aborigines in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, or perhaps to continue the old, traditional ways, Melbourne’s aborigines, who formed tribes all over the countryside, met in community places and would declare the fundamentals of the unity that existed between them. Following this show of unity more business like matters like common interests and disputes were discussed. One of these meeting places was in Melbourne’s East in a place thought to have been called Numpha-wading by the local aborigines and called Nunawading by the new European settlers, keen to preserve the indigenous names. The popular translation for this word is ‘ceremonial ground’. The boundaries of the native Nunawading were unclear, even to the aborigines and the parish of Nunawading was hilly and heavily timbered and covered a large area.

  • Envisioning the Future in Doha and Astana
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by RERO DOC Digital Library Published in Perspectives on Central Asia 10, pp. 16-22, 2016 1 which should be used for any reference to this work ENVISIONING THE FUTURE IN DOHA AND ASTANA BY KRISTIN EGGELING! Across centuries and geographies, political elites have used the construction of capital cities as a central tool of governance. Through iconic buildings, historical sights, and architectural experiments, those in power have used the design of their capitals to form national identities, and showcase global prestige. But while traditional capitals were built around honoring history, the archetypal capital city of the 21st century also hints at political ambitions and dreams for the future. Since the start of this century, the capitals of various Arabian Gulf and Central Asian countries have experienced a construction boom. Both regions are home to young, non- democratic states rich in natural resources. For these states, sovereignty has been more the result of a retreating empire than self-determined nationalist struggles. In this context, building up the capital city has become an “BUILDING UP THE CAPITAL import tool for local elites to construct national identity CITY BECAME AN IMPORT and solidify independent statehood. This mixture of TOOL TO CONSTRUCT rentierism and authoritarianism has favored fast and NATIONAL IDENTITY AND spectacular urban development, which is further driven SOLIDIFY INDEPENDENT by an urge for recognition as a viable member of the STATEHOOD” international community.

  • The Case of Katara Cultural Village in Qatar
    Architecture Research 2017, 7(4): 109-122 DOI: 10.5923/j.arch.20170704.01 The Role of Public Art and Culture in New Urban Environments: The Case of Katara Cultural Village in Qatar Maryam Al Suwaidi1, Raffaello Furlan2,* 1Candidate in the Master Program in Urban Planning and Design (MUPD) at Qatar University, State of Qatar 2College of Engineering, Department of Architecture and Urban Planning (DAUP), Qatar University, State of Qatar Abstract In recent years, public art has been featured as a trend in urban environments in GCC. During its period of development, the State of Qatar worked on large megaprojects designed to attract global investments and tourists. Also, the current process of globalization has greatly contributed to increasing competition between cities and promoting the development of public art within new urban developments. This research study discusses the role of public art in influencing urban environments in Qatar, namely within Katara Cultural Village. The study explores the extent to which such an approach can raise local communities’ environmental awareness as an indirect input to the process of upgrading the desires of those living in these areas and of international tourists. In addition, it reviews the experiences of different types of catalysts for regeneration, such as art and culture, that can enhance the built environment’s recognition, value, and economic growth. A qualitative evaluation is employed for this research study, which leverages subjective methods such as interviews and observations to collect substantive and relevant data while examining the interaction of connectivity, attraction, and development as they relate to economics and other multifaceted aspects of development.
