Alejandro Aravena's ELEMENTAL to design the 1 million sq.ft. Qatar Art Mill

“Art Mill will be an international exemplar where art connects across cultures and boundaries,” Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, jury chair and Qatar Museums chairperson, stated on the winning concept. “ELEMENTAL's assured handling of space and scale in its treatment of the silos creates a memorable and original scheme that evokes a strong sense of calm. The team showed a love of simplicity in the use of humble materials, which will acquire a patina with age.”
