Italian architect One Works is the winner of the international competition held by Qatar Rail for the new Transport Education Centre in Doha, Qatar.
The contest was launched with a view to bestowing the city with a building that symbolises the rapid change that is affecting the entire country.
Combining past, present, and future, the Transport Education Centre will tell the story of how Qatar is positioning itself as a country dynamically connected through an ambitious programme of integrated transport infrastructure.
Mohamed Timbely, Senior Director of Qatar Rail, said: “One Works has perfectly interpreted the spirit and the goal we set for ourselves from the competition’s outset.
Their unique experience in transport infrastructure architecture, combined with their ability to interpret it as a founding and strategic element of urban development, and thus social and cultural evolution, allowed the architects to develop a concept for a Transport Education Centre that achieves a perfect synthesis of what Qatar Rail is developing for its Country and architectural and cultural legacy, making the new Transport Education Centre a dynamic and integrated element along the path we are taking.”
Qatar Rail is developing an integrated transport network for the country that combines the Doha Metro system, the Lusail Light Railway and the Qatar section of the GCC railway network.
