Middle East summit discusses football stadium designs


Different football stadium designs were discussed at the fifth Annual Facade Design and Engineering Middle East Summit at the Inter-Continental Hotel.

As part of Qatar’s determination to explore new construction techniques, architects, engineers and consultants from around the world gathered to discuss ways of designing eco-friendly buildings in the region. The summit is significant as Qatar is preparing to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Nigel Eckersall, General Manager of Tangram Architects and Designers Qatar and Chairperson of the summit, introduced the two-day event, which began with an overview of different football stadium designs.

“We are in a pivotal time now in Qatar as we have nine years left to deliver our construction plans,” explained Eckersall. “We must be clever and intelligent to provide sustainable buildings for the next generation and think about the legacy we are going to leave for 2022 and beyond.”
