Innovative Qatari Architecture

The innovative architecture in downtown Doha was one of the big attractions of the city for me – it seemed like every building must have been approved for a unique design that would only contribute to the striking skyline because there wasn’t a boring, boxy building among them.

I was undecided about doing a separate sub-gallery just for buildings, but there are probably too many pictures just to add to the main Doha gallery, although maybe not enough for a gallery of their own. I guess I'll see how it goes!
