Cultural institution Qatar Museums introduces the official images of the Lusail Museum, which is a uniquely structured gallery and museum shaped like a drum. It was designed by the Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron -- the museum is on Al Maha Island by Doha.
The inspiration behind the look nods to historic Islamic architecture and can be defined by the interior to become a cultural destination that aids research, exhibition spaces, and education. The large building is detailed with deep cuts and other geometric punctures that will become windows and other entry points to the museum. More natural light is invited by the series of skylights that will be added throughout the roofscape. The studio is made to ensure that visitors have a natural visual connection to the sea.
