WITH AN AIM OF TRANSFORMING THE VISION IN PRACTICE, MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFIAIRS (MOFA),STATE OF QATAT HAS TAKEN AN INITIATIVE TO CONSTRUCT “ NEW EMBASSY AND AMBASSADOR’S RESIDENCE BUILDING IN BANGLADESH. AS PART OF CLOSE COMPETITION CALL WE HAVE PROPOSED THE DESIGN FOR IT .QATAR’S 100 YEAR OLD SOUQ WAQIF, PORTRAYS SOME CLUES ABOUT QATARI HISTORY & CULTURE. IT WAS A GATHERING SPACE WHERE BEDOUINS AND LOCALS WOULD TRADE A VARIETY OF GOODS, PRIMARILY LIVESTOCK GOODS. THIS SOUQ IS NOTED FOR SELLING TRADITIONAL GARMENTS, SPICES, HANDCRAFTS AND SOUVENIRS. IT IS OFTEN PERCEIVED TO BE THE ONLY LASTING AREA IN DOHA THAT RETAINS AN AUTHENTIC FEEL NOTABLY IN REFERENCE  TO ITS COMMERCE, ARCHITECTURE AND CULTURE. WE WERE INSPIRED BY THE ATMOSPHERE CREATED BY THE PIGEONS IN SOUQ WAQIF. THESE TWO IMAGES OF THIS MARKET INTRIGUED US MOST. PIGEONS CARRY SOME SORT OF STATUS SYMBOL AND ARE HIGHLY REVERED IN ISLAM. THEREFORE, THEY ARE HOUSED AND CARED FOR WELL.IN OUR SCHEME THE EMBASSY PART HAS TWO DISTINCT VOLUMES THAT IS SEPARATED BY THREE VOIDS ON DIFFERENT LEVELS CREATING TERRACE. AT THE INTERSECTION OF THESE TWO VOLUMES WE “RE-INTRODUCED” FOUR PIGEON TOWERS AS A SYMBOL OF TRADITIONAL ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE AND INGENUITY.THESE WILL BE MADE OUT OF UNFIRED MUD BRICK, LIME PLUSTER AND GYPSUM.  THE WALL WILL BE SLANTED INWARDS ALLOWING PIGEON DUNG TO FALL DIRECTLY INTO A CENTRAL COLLECTION PIT AT THE FOOT OF THE TOWER. PIGEONS WILL BE INSTINCTIVELY   ATTRACTED TO THEN BECAUSE THEY RESEMBLED THE ROCKY LEDGES AND CREVICES IN WHICH PIGEONS LIKE TO NEST, MATE AND REAR THEIR YOUNG IN THE WILD.A DESIGN DATING BACK TO SEVERAL MILLENNIA,
