Historically, in the old architecture of Qatar, the urban
development of cities and villages was based on the creation of
agglomerations of housing units. These agglomerations were the
essence of traditional Qatari architecture which can be defined as
architecture of social values, derived from a combination of
different factors such as religion, privacy, and the extended
family. After the discovery of oil, Qatar became a wealthy country
and saw the introduction of a new modern language which did not
reflect the vernacular architecture. The purpose of this book is to
tell the history of Qatari architecture through the description of
old cities and villages, public buildings and domestic spaces
declared as cultural heritage. Following a multi-disciplinary
approach that emphasizes sociological aspects, it examines the
architecture of individual houses, and also structural materials
used for their construction, in addition to those of palaces,
funerary monuments, and mosques. The drawings depict the best
examples of Qatari architecture. The text, easy and relatively
concise, is comprehensive and complete enough even for students of
architecture.
