The Middle Eastern projects named as finalists for 2021 awards are:

Building and Campuses Category Finalist:

Al Thumama Stadium

Arab Engineering Bureau Doha, Al Thumama, Qatar

The aesthetically designed Al Thumama Stadium will be the site of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, and will be used later as a mixed-leisure facility for continued economic development. Arab Engineering Bureau needed to quickly optimize pedestrian flow in the design for both functions. Their pedestrian simulation model helped architects and planners ensure rapid movement and create an environmentally and socially sustainable space.

Structural Engineering Category Finalist:
Rosewood Doha

Arab Engineering Bureau Lusail, Doha, Qatar

To ensure the structural integrity of an iconic, mixed-use, luxury development project while meeting the complex architectural requirements, Arab Engineering Bureau needed comprehensive, customizable structural design technology. Using the technology, they could determine that a post-tension steel slab system would reduce construction costs and time. Determining the optimal steel structural support solution saved 20% to 30% in resource hours and associated costs.
