When Public Art Becomes Part of the City
project of the week When Public Art Becomes Part of the City ↗

Doha Design District’s Public Art Open Call drew more than 220 submissions from 53 nationalities. As the winning projects prepare to take their place in Msheireb Downtown Doha, SCALE speaks to the designers behind two of them, Fanayeen and Whispering Leaves, about hospitality, listening and designing work that becomes complete when people engage with it.

Natasha Orekhova: When Bodies, AI and Architecture Collide

There is nothing passive about Natasha Orekhova’s work. Bodies stretch, multiply, collide, and appear to break free of their physical limits, yet all in perfect formations. Figures repeat and regroup; movement becomes exaggerated, sometimes almost impossible. The images are explosive and arresting, but beneath their immediate visual impact is a considered exploration of the body, identity and what happens when the individual becomes part of a collective.

The Architecture of a Different Kind of Marriage
(SUSTAINABLE)

The Architecture of a Different Kind of Marriage

Can a wedding be beautiful without excess? For Pratik Dhanmer, founder of Design Jatra, and Motan Sankalpana Uday, the answer lay in a series of thoughtful choices, from the venue and décor to the food served and the waste generated. Their celebration shows how questioning convention, rather than simply following it, can make one of life’s biggest occasions both deeply personal and mindful of its impact.
