Lusail Sports Arena
On 18 January 2019, the arena hosted its biggest music event, a live concert by Arijit Singh presented by OneFM Radio in association with Shop Qatar and ticketing partner WanasaTime.
Construction
The construction of the spectator stadium began in 2012 with a cost of approximately US$318 Million. Dar Al-Handasah designed the sports arena having been commissioned by the Qatar Olympic Committee. The arena was designed to reflect the local Qatari culture featuring the colors of the sea, pearls and the desert sands blended with a central dome inspired by the classic Islamic architecture. The building is designed in a way to reduce the cooling demand by using fritting, shading and bright finishing to minimize the heat effects. It also optimizes the ratio of opaque and glazed walls.
