The design of the sculpture garden in Zekreet - Qatar. the design is a combination of natural inspiration and contemporary aesthetics, deeply rooted in the unique terrain of the Ras Abrouq Mountains which captures its outstanding rock Through a careful study of its natural features, created a garden space that is the glory of Ras Abrouq raw, in a simple and unusual way



A key element in the design of the garden is the considered placement of sculptures, which are distributed according to the movement of the wind. This approach ensures that sculpture is not merely decorative but landscape the major part of the body that responds to and interacts with their environment. The constant and dynamic force of the wind in the desert determines the position and orientation of the sculptures, creating a dialogue between art and nature This choice of layout emphasizes the fragility and impermanence of the landscape.



the relationship between the designs is carefully considered to create a sense of unity and harmony. Each sculpture influences and is influenced by its neighbor, establishing a visual and spatial network that enhances the cohesion of the garden as a whole This network reflects the interdependence of the ecosystems, somewhere with each element being part of a larger and more complex relationship. Though the sculptures are unique individually, together they form a unified composition that guides visitors through the garden, inviting them to explore and engage with the space from multiple perspectives



The project is designed as a historical landmark that blends modern design principles with the beauty of nature. It is a peaceful place where individuals can relax and immerse themselves in nature. This focus on creating a tranquil space emphasizes the garden’s role as a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of modern life, providing a space for quiet contemplation and rejuvenation



Specifically, the Sculpture garden in Zekreet is a celebration of Qatar’s natural and cultural heritage, offering a unique blend of art and nature transformed through the lens of contemporary design, where their boundaries have been blurred and redefined.
