Looks like its time for me to highlight something about the art world in my slot.

I wanted to focus your attention to the following page – Broug Ateliers Islamic geometric design.

Broug Ateliers was established in 2004 to create a commercial outlet for the artist’s geometrical designs. He has range of products and services inspired by Islamic geometrical design. His aim is to present this traditional design in a contemporary light and to make Islamic art affordable to a large audience

In the last two years he has started to share some of his acquired skills and knowledge through special introductory courses in geometrical design. He teaches students how to create traditional designs, as well as provide a bit of history on the Islamic design tradition.

A big welcome to all art freaks and to any random viewer who may have landed on this page by chance.

The following bunch of paragraphs will be trying to fool you in thinking that I know a lot about the world we live in.

Anyways this week, rather than focusing on an artist, I wanted to focus on a building.  However, this build is no ordinary building – heck no!

The new Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar is a truly inspirational project.

The Museum of Islamic Arts (MIA) will provide a stunning environment in which to showcase its extensive store of treasures from across the Islamic world. Designed by I.M. Pei, the Museum will have nearly 5,000 square meters of exhibition space available, in addition to generous education, conservation and presentation areas.

The Museum will in time join forces with four other national museums which will be built in the Doha Harbour area.

The Museum is one of the most important and monumental building projects of its type in the world today. In architectural terms, it is one of the most distinguished modern buildings in the entire Middle East. It is a structure of exceptional quality, designed by one of the most important architects in the world and will house great treasures.

This museum, along with the other museums planned to be constructed in the area, and in the context of the major educational reforms and new university establishments being supported by the Qatari authorities, will transform the State of Qatar into a centre of world-class educational excellence.
