Qatar Sprouts a Towering Cactus Skyscraper
The Minister of Municipal Affairs & Agriculture (MMAA) in Qatar is getting a brand new office building that takes the form of a towering cactus. Designed by Bangkok-based Aesthetics Architects, the modern office and adjoining botanical dome take cues from cacti and the way that they successfully survive in hot, dry environments. Qatar is fairly barren, covered by sand, and receives and average annual rainfall of 3.2 inches. An excellent example of desert architecture, MMA’s new building is designed be very energy efficient and utilizes sun shades on its windows. + Aesthetics Architects GO Group
