(photograph by Vincent Aïtzegagh, Paris, France)
Qatar National Library (QNL)
welcomes you to a week-long look
at the architectural heritage of
Qatar and the Gulf.
The program begins with the
opening of an exhibition of historical
photographs taken in 1984–85 by
the French Archaeological Mission
in Qatar, and recently acquired by
the QNL. A member of this mission,
Dr. Claire Hardy-Guilbert, will deliver
a lecture on Qatar’s traditional
architecture at the opening.
This will be followed by a
conference examining the Gulf’s
architectural identity and its
wider cultural and economic
history through the story of its
traditional architecture from the
1700s to the 1960s. Scholars will
discuss architectural projects, the
varieties of vernacular buildings,
the influence of pre-oil trade and
migration flows between the Gulf
and the wider world, the state
of traditional Gulf architecture
today, preservation practices and
debates, and architecture’s ongoing
significance for national identity in
the GCC states.
These events form part of the QNL’s
Traditional Gulf Architecture Project,
which seeks to create a digital
archive of historical photographs,
architectural maps and drawings,
and publications relating to the
region’s architectural heritage.
The Traditional Gulf Architecture Conference is organized by the
Qatar National Library in collaboration with Liverpool University’s
School of Architecture, Qatar University’s Department of
Architecture and Urban Planning, and Ibrahim Jaidah, CEO and
Chief Architect, Arab Engineering Bureau, Qatar. It is funded by the
QNL with support from the Qatar National Research Fund.
