and a planned redevelopment of Conference Street to
project a linear parkway out into the bay along an elevated
walkway and pedestrian bridge. This facility responds to
Doha’s climate by providing an attractive walkway that can
be used open to all of nature’s elements (when
temperatures permit) or under the shade provided by a
covered roof in milder periods or even vacated altogether in
preference for a high-rise thrilling ride aboard the cooled
cable car during the hotter periods.

Conference Street, a který zasahuje až k zátoce podél
vyvýšené stezky pro pěší a lávky. Toto řešení odráží
klimatické podmínky v této oblasti a umožňuje atraktivní
procházku otevřenou všem přírodním prvkům (když dovolí
počasí) nebo ve stínu, který poskytne zastřešená část
v období s mírným počasím. Během období s horkým
počasím je možné si vychutnat výstup klimatizovaným
vozem lanovky.

The second bridge to the South is the Al Sharq Bridge. This
bridge is a novel invention in the form of a finely tuned and
balanced cantilever bridge where the drivers progress
through a series of tubular, grand vaults. The elevation of
this bridge responds exactly to the structural loading placed
upon it and is slimmed and thinned to a breathtaking
degree at mid-span where the deck tiptoes gracefully across
the water. This bridge will offer arriving visitors to the
airport their first glimpse of downtown Doha and the daring
sculpting of the main span affords them front row seats
with an uninterrupted view over the harbour and the
skyline beyond.
