Qatar 2022

The World Cup technical committee for Qatar 2022 invited C+A Design to put forward a proposal to provide temporary accommodation for use during the World Cup period. A cradle to grave solution was presented, where recycled shipping containers could be used as rooms during the tournament, and then packed up to be transported to another location. Integrating public spaces to the scheme was key to its success; utilising the voids amongst the units and additional canopies to form shaded areas. The cooling and ventilation scheme was inspired by traditional Middle Eastern wind catcher towers, reducing the energy requirements of the project.
