متحف الفن الإسلامي في الدوحة
Located on an artificial island off the Corniche in Doha, Qatar, the site is accessible via pedestrian and vehicular bridges connecting to the mainland. It is surrounded by water on three sides, with the Persian Gulf as its dramatic backdrop.
Museum of Islamic Art, Doha
Spanning 45,000 square meters, the complex comprises a five-story main building and a two-story educational wing, interconnected by a central courtyard. The courtyard features a soaring 50-meter-high domed atrium, while a 45-meter-tall north-facing glass curtain wall offers panoramic views of Doha Bay.
占地 4.5 万平方米,主体含五层主楼、两层教育侧翼,由中央庭院连接;中庭穹顶高 50 米,北侧 45 米高玻璃幕墙可瞰多哈湾全景 。
Design Philosophy
I.M. Pei’s design philosophy centered on distilling Islamic architectural ethos through three key interventions: Firstly, geometric abstraction materialized via stratified limestone volumes and a claustra dome orchestrating luminous dynamism. Secondly, cultural codification—abstracting arabesque screen patterns and crystallizing Ibn Tulun Mosque’s spatial DNA into modernist syntax. Lastly, contextual grafting: the moated site plan buffers urban chaos, while the sequenced dune-garden hybridizes Gulf’s arid ecology with cosmological symbolism."
贝聿铭以 “捕捉伊斯兰建筑精髓” 为目标,借几何抽象与光影(白色石灰石几何堆叠、穹顶圆孔引光)、文化符号转译(融入伊斯兰几何图案、阿拉伯纹饰,灵感源自伊本・图伦清真寺 )、环境融合(人工岛隔干扰,后方沙丘绿洲呼应沙漠海洋语境 )实现设计。

Significance of the Project:
The Museum of Islamic Art stands as the final masterpiece of I.M. Pei, completed in 2008 when the architect was 91 years old. It also represents his sole architectural venture into Islamic culture.
项目意义:伊斯兰艺术博物馆是贝聿铭91岁高龄的封笔之作(2008年竣工),也是其唯一涉足伊斯兰文化的建筑项目。
Research Process:
To authentically embody Islamic essence, I.M. Pei embarked on a six-month expedition across the Middle East (including Egypt, Tunisia, and India), studying the Quran and analyzing historic architecture. His research culminated in selecting Cairo’s Ibn Tulun Mosque as the design prototype, drawn to its "solemnity and luminous vitality emerging from the desert."
研究历程:为精准表达伊斯兰精神,贝聿铭耗时6个月考察中东(埃及、突尼斯、印度等地),研读《古兰经》并分析历史建筑,最终选定埃及伊本·图伦清真寺为原型,因其“在沙漠中展现庄重与光影生命力”的特质。
