National Museum of Qatar, NMoQ #1 - Doha, Qatar

Jean Nouvel's design of the National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ) was inspired by the Desert Rose Crystal, typically found in the Qatari deserts. As an architect Jean Nouvel places importance on designing a building in harmony with its surroundings

Image number 20 (# 6 here on Flickr) of a series of 29 fine art photos on modern architecture in Qatar commissioned by Qatar Tourism, taken earlier in 2022. And the 1st out of this sub-series of 7 images from the NMoQ. Check out my portfolio on my revamped website bwvision.com/architecture-gallery/ for the entire The Age of Modern Architecture in Qatar series up till now (26 photos already).

This series of 29 photographs have been exhibited in the M7 museum in Doha, Qatar from November 8th 2022 to January 23, 2023. The series of 29 reveals a strong connection between the architect’s design and its environmental and cultural context. I’ve tried to celebrate the architect’s design through my interpretation of it in relation to its environment. The tonal composition has been carefully designed to give visual weight to the architectural structures and pronounce their forms, while the spatial composition (object and space selection and arrangements) enhances the visual energy of the structures as they are juxtaposed to the serenity of the (back)grounds. A serenity that is inspired by the characteristics of a desert area. All 29 photos have been processed using the B&W Artisan Pro panel to speed up the process and increase accuracy.

At the moment I'm working on 24 new photos from Qatar that will form a new series.
