QSTP represents a pioneering master plan concept for global science and technology parks. It was envisioned as a landmark environment that is contemporary and striking, while remaining respectful of Qatari culture and resilient enough to withstand harsh desert conditions.

The project created an opportunity to design a vibrant, people centred environment that supports collaboration, research and innovation. A core design aspiration was the separation of vehicular and pedestrian movement to create a safe and attractive public realm. A landscaped pedestrian podium links all major buildings beneath a signature veil shade structure, encouraging movement between the tenant buildings, activity hubs and the Incubator Centre’s retail and service offerings.

The master plan established QSTP not only as a world class research setting but also as a highly liveable green oasis featuring water, shade and human centred design.
