5. Concept
The goal of the proposal is to present a schematic design for a formal Arabic and Option 1
french garden adapted to Qatar’s sensibilities and site conditions. It includes the extension
and amendment of the existing built landscape to create a more comprehensive and coherent
landscape design which accommodates the various site users. Within the scheme, the event
area underwent a detailed design to introduce a go kart race track and entertainment hub.
The two schematics presented manifest the formal garden through:
Axes & Symmetry
The site is organized through the division of spaces using primary and secondary
channels of movements. These axes serve as the mirror line for the symmetrical form.
Hierarchy & Drama
Experiencing and moving through the site is manipulated by hierarchy and drama,
where the height, size, and complexity of the surrounding area offer a guided tour.
Water
Water plays a central role in formal Arabic gardens as it represents the source of life.
Water is used in the scheme to produce different experiences of space, as reflecting ponds,
natural lakes, fountains, and channels.
Plantation &Ornamentation Option 2
The planting proposed for the site design the character of the formal garden while incorporating
plant arrangements of a more contemporary nature. There will be a transition from formal
parterre in Arabic geometry to more naturalistic scenery.
The Options
While the two option adhere to the same concept guidelines, they are distinguished in
approach and concentration of interventions, and level of formality. On the other hand, both
options adopt of a more contemporary style in the south area adjacent to the house.
In option 1 the majority of construction and intervention will take place in the south area
of the site, and smaller scale intervention at the north area will include the addition of planting
to the existing forms created by the existing hardscape. In option 2, the south area is seen as a
more temporary landscape able to accommodates additional buildings and amenities.
The level of formality and symmetry is more apparent in option 2, while option uses a
central axes and a more organic periphery.
