Airport Visitor & Information Center, Doha, Qatar

Designed by Grimshaw Architects, the Doha Airport Visitor Center included exhibition spaces, media room, auditorium and several communal spaces. The custom façade is a honeycomb skin of glazed ceramic tiles carefully designed to minimize heat gain and to maximize views where appropriate. Numerous versions were developed early in the project by working directly with manufacturers through design assist, accommodating every condition.

Ximena was part of the Grimshaw Architects design team as a senior architect responsible for the exterior envelope package from design development through construction documents, including presentations, technical reports, drawings, specifications, financial and schedule oversight, consultant overview and coordination.
