Women's Section of the Red Crescent Society

Doha, Qatar

The project consists of four clusters of buildings, linked together by open arcades, to house administrative offices, a nursery school, a sports center, and a vocational school. The limited budget resulted in a choice of very simple materials: white acrylic paint for the elevations, white marble for the skirting and floor of the main entrance and for the stairway only. Most of the internal floors have modest carpet finish, with linoleum for the nursery school.
