国家公约中心

寒江吹雪

这是由Arata Isozaki设计的卡塔尔国家公约中心。巨大的树状柱子支撑着屋顶的卡塔尔国家公约中心是由日本建筑师Arata Isozaki设计建造的。这一设计象征着神圣的伊斯兰树，被认为是七重天的结束。在巨型的玻璃柱前面，一对庞大的钢柱建造成两棵树的模样，支撑着一个屋顶的天棚，也为下面大楼前的公共广场提供庇护。“这棵树是学者的明灯，是沙漠的慰藉，更是诗人和学者们分享知识的天堂。”建筑师说道。
多哈的卡塔尔基金会占地面积1000公顷，卡塔尔国家公约中心在2011年12月对外开放。它在中东国家中是最大的展览中心，三个主要的展厅中可以容纳将近7000人。游客通过大型的接待大厅进入建筑，横跨两个完整的建筑。钢筋材质的楼梯连接了上下层，旁边是一堵棋盘状且色彩绚丽的墙。其他的空间还包括一个可容纳4000个座位的会议厅，一个2300个座位的剧院和9个展示大厅，和一系列用于各种活动的52个会议房间。

Gigantic tree-like columns support the overhanging roof of the Qatar National Convention Centre by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki. The building was designed by Arata Isozaki to reference the Sidrat al-Muntaha, a holy Islamic tree that is believed to symbolise the end of the seventh heaven.
A pair of sprawling steel columns create the illusion of two trees in front of the large rectangular glass facade, supporting a roof canopy that extends out to offer shelter to a public plaza in front of the building."The tree is a beacon of learning and comfort in the desert and a haven for poets and scholars who gathered beneath its branches to share knowledge," said the architects.
Located on the 1000-hectare campus of the Qatar Foundation in Doha, the Qatar National Convention Centre opened to the public in December 2011. It is the largest exhibition centre in the Middle East and can accommodate up to 7000 people in its three main halls.
Visitors enter the building through a large reception hall that spans both the full width and height of the building. Steel-clad staircases beyond lead to floors both above and below ground, and are flanked by a wall of colourful tessellated shapes.
Other spaces include a 4000-seat conference hall, a 2300-seat theatre, nine exhibition halls and a series of 52 meetings rooms that can be used for various events and activities.
