Lusail Interchanges

Experiential Graphics | Gate Way | Urban Design

Lusail City, Al Daayen municipality, Qatar

Concept Design

Project Description

Lusail City, Qatar’s extraordinary, $45 billion planned metropolis, is located on the coast in the northern part of the Al Daayen municipality. The form is inspired by the sail of a traditional "dhow" boat (a one- or two-masted Arab sailing vessel) and the interplay of light and shadow characteristic of a “fanar” (Arabic for lantern). Youn Choi explored the sail concept and sand dunes for Lusail's Environmental Urban Design Master Plan, translating it into a sweeping architectural gesture at the main gateway. She remained true to that inspiration for a spectrum of graphics and other expressive elements.
