Another design created by the pioneers of futuristic architecture design, the stadium was designed in 2019 for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, this epic design by Zaha Hadid Architects combines elegance with aesthetic functionality. It is located in Al Wakrah, 23 km away from Doha. ZHA is well known for their use of advanced computational tools to achieve breathtaking designs and execution. This stadium is shaped in the form of a dhow, more precisely, its hull or base. A dhow is a boat traditionally used in parts of Eastern Arabia and South Asia. It can house up to 40,000 people. It has a retractable roof backed by tubular steel stems which provide a cooling effect on the building. Futuristic architecture design has never looked more evocative.
It also effectively uses solar panels to increase air circulation within the structure, with under-seat diffusers that cool the structure even further. The stadium is a blend of cultural richness and advanced parametric technique.
