In the case of Lusail city we are  dealing with orthogonal city grid. The rectangular park also suggests that the QIB have a certain frontality and a clear bias to the water. We tried to provide a unique paradigm on the development for a complex that will dominate both the ground plane as well as the skyline. The central tower and  the flanking base of the building create a piazza that  will be  a destination within the larger city grid.  As the aim of Lusail is to  energize the streetscape and  enhance the quality of life for residents, it is an obligation for us to create the podium  which will form a figural space and act as an urban living room.
