The paper features some of the most challenging envelope projects in Doha, capital of Qatar, which were engineered and designed by the authors. In terms of geometric complexity, the National Museum of Qatar (Atelier Jean Nouvel, Paris, France) is a real milestone in 3D engineering and BIM full-detail modelling and design. Two more innovative façade technology examples are the super-transparent facades of the Qatar National Convention Centre (Yamasaki Architects, Troy/Michigan, USA) with 18m tall glass fins, and the cable facades of the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (Jahn Architects, Chicago, USA) with their innovative support on horizontally stressed cables. %@ 978-1-882352-43-2
