Al Wahda Arches
Public Art, Doha
The 100m tall Gateway Arches have transformed an expressway corridor into an immersive public artwork. Designed to be viewed in motion, drivers experience a sculpture which appears to kinetically transform as they pass through the junction. The unique intertwined and tilted arches and cable net, reference Qatar’s pearl-diving heritage. The artwork has become a source of national pride and identity, setting a template for how road infrastructure can be heightened to become part of the local cultural fabric.
