The competition will involve engineering and architectural students, practicing professional engineers and interested members of the public to form teams and compete to construct the biggest and strongest paper structure dome.  You will build your very own dome by taping together tubes made from rolled-up newspaper and then investigate your domes.

In Qatar domes are becoming part of the local architectural identity, domes are obvious and visible in many places in Qatar like Aspire Dome, Museum of Islamic Art, Pearl Towers, Katara and many high-rise towers in West Bay. The dome is a cosmic symbol in every religious tradition and it is a symbol of power. In Islam the dome represents the vault of heaven and most mosques feature one or more domes.
