Architecture

The museum is influenced by ancient Islamic architecture yet has a uniquely modern design involving geometric patterns. It is the first of its kind to feature over 14 centuries of Islamic art in the Arab States of the Persian Gulf.

Occupying an area of 45,000 m2 (480,000 sq ft), the museum is on an artificial peninsula overlooking the south end of Doha Bay. Construction of the building was done by a Turkish company, Baytur Construction, in 2006. The interior gallery spaces were designed by a team of Wilmotte Associates. The museum was opened on November 22, 2008 by the then-emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad. It opened to the general public on December 8, 2008.

At 91 years of age, the museum’s architect, I. M. Pei had to be coaxed out of retirement to undertake this enterprise. He traveled throughout the Muslim world on a six-month quest to learn about Muslim architecture and history and read Muslim texts to draw inspiration for his design. According to Pei, the light fountain in 9th century Ibn Tulun Mosque of Cairo was the inspiration.

Declining all proposed sites for the museum, he suggested a stand-alone island for the structure to avoid encroachments by other buildings in the future. It was built off an artificial peninsula, approximately 60 m (200 ft) off the Doha Corniche and surrounded by a somewhat crescent-shaped 290,000 m2 (3,100,000 sq ft) park. Pei requested that the museum spaces be designed by his collaborator on the Louvre project, Wilmotte & Associates, who then assembled a design team including Plowden & Smith (conservation consultants), Isometrix Lighting + Design (lighting consultants), and SG Conseil (AV Consultants) under Turner Projacs. Along with this design team, Leslie E. Robertson Associates was the structural engineer for the project.

The main building consists of the five floors, the main dome, and the central tower. It is connected with the education ward via a large central court. Pei utilized creamy limestone for the outer facades to emphasize the various shades during the different times of the day. The five floors are covered by a glass facade to the north, and it provides a panoramic view of the Persian Gulf. The interior of the building is decorated by several Islamic arts, and the large metallic chandelier hung over the main staircase of the lobby. Many elements found in Ibn Tulun Mosque are represented in the building as an abstract form. This enables the agreement with values and principles of the postmodern architecture historical trend which synchronize the modernity and the historical Islamic architectural identity.

The Museum of Islamic Arts

Музейное здание

Архитектурный проект музея подготовил известный во всем мире архитектор – Ио Мин Пей, а возводили его турецкие строители. Оригинальное здание состоит из светлых кубов известняка и обладает чертами традиционной исламской архитектуры.

Все интерьеры музея исламского искусства были оформлены с участием фабрики Cassina. Ее специалисты изготовили демонстрационные шкафы-витрины, музейные указатели, светильники, кресла и стулья для посетителей, книжные стеллажи для библиотеки и одежные шкафы для гардероба.

Гигантский центральный зал – атриум – освещается стеклянной стеной, обращенной в сторону моря. Перед огромным окном устроена зона отдыха для посетителей музея. Здесь можно посидеть в удобных креслах и полюбоваться на струи живописного фонтана. Пол атриума украшен розеткой из контрастного мрамора. От нее на второй этаж уходит двойная спиральная лестница. Наверху атриума висит украшенная арабской вязью люстра, которая похожа на огромное светящееся кольцо.

С этажа на этаж посетители поднимаются по лестницам или с помощью лифтов. Выставочные залы расположены вокруг открытого атриума. Пространство организовано так, что каком бы этаже ни находились гости музея, они всегда могут видеть центральный зал и любоваться игрой света в нем.
