West Bay is a maze of high-rise steel and glass structures. There is an ‘anything goes’ feel about the way 21st century Doha has been built which, for me, makes it far more visually appealing than over-planned cityscapes.

Not far from where we live, opposite the Centrepoint Mall in Al Sadd, a new building is under construction. It looks just like a cat. It makes me smile every time I drive by.
