French architect Jean Nouvel has unveiled his design for the new National Museum of Qatar.
The museum will comprise a series of interlocking discs of varying dimensions and curvatures, which will form walls, ceilings, floors and terraces.
Each disc will be made of a steel truss structure clad in glass-reinforced concrete and the voids between discs will be glazed.
This new structure will be built around an existing palace.
