由約翰·麥卡蘭建筑事務所最新設計的M7設計與文化中心位于多哈，是占地2萬平方米的Msheire區綜合開放項目的建筑主體。這一建筑項目也正在改變卡塔爾首都市民的生活方式。該設計與文化中心最近被命名為M7，已成為卡塔爾時尚設計行業的創意中心以及該地區創新創業的公共展示區。

多哈的Msheireb區被設計成由有軌電車和地鐵覆蓋的“步行城市”，由緊密相連的城市街區組成，沿著樹木蔭蔽的街道有博物館、清真寺、購物商場、住宅以及辦公樓等建筑。M7位于Msheireb區的中心，寧靜且質樸，其建筑的穩固、厚重和交錯的體量與傳統的卡塔爾建筑相呼應。這一設計也與阿聯酋及海灣國家普遍存在的大規模國際化城市改造形成了鮮明的對比，表明了卡塔爾在拓展地區多元化的同時，也在探索自身文化遺產的美好愿景。

M7大樓的設計符合領先能源與環境設計（LEED）金級認證，并采用了光伏和太陽能熱水器等可再生能源。建筑中庭設計巧妙，白天自然光充足。建筑的形式和結構都遵從流傳幾個世紀的傳統卡塔爾建筑風格，通過建筑朝向、遮陽和自然通風來應對極端的氣候條件，創造舒適可持續的居住使用環境。

設計方法通過顯著減少碳排放，使得整體建筑消耗更少的資源，產生更少的垃圾，從而降低運營成本。該項目通過附近區域的冷卻工廠進行冷卻，極大提高了建筑及周圍建筑群的能源冷卻效率。水是該地區的一種稀缺資源，雨水在建筑內被收集并再利用以緩解該區域的用水壓力。

The new M7 Design and Cultural Hub， Doha by John McAslan + Partners is the architectural anchor of the 31-hectare Msheireb mixed-use development that is changing the way people live in and use the Qatari capital. Recently named as M7， the new centre has launched as a creative hub for Qatar’s fashion and design industry as well as a public showcase for innovation and entrepreneurship in the region.

Comprising tight-knit and compact urban blocks incorporating museums， a mosque， shopping arcades， homes， and offices along shaded streets， the Msheireb district of Doha has been designed as a ‘walkable city’ served by trams and a Metro. M7 is at the heart of Msheireb. Serene and elemental， the solidity， massing， and interlocking volumes of this substantial civic building echo elements found in traditional Qatari architecture. The design counters the sweeping internationalised urban makeovers common in the Emirates and the Gulf States and demonstrates Qatar’s aspiration to explore its own heritage while reaching out to other places and diverse cultures.

The M7 Building has been designed to LEED ‘Gold’ standards and utilises renewables such as photovoltaics and solar hot water heaters. The central atrium is thought-out so that no artificial lighting is needed during daylight hours. The form and configuration of the building are based on that of traditional Qatari architecture， which for centuries has used orientation， shading， and natural ventilation to create comfortable and highly sustainable environments in response to the extreme climatic conditions.

This design approach means that overall the building consumes fewer resources， generates less waste， and will cost less to operate， through the significant reduction of the scheme’s carbon footprint. Cooling is via a district cooling plant nearby， which provides significant efficiencies in the cooling energy for this and surrounding buildings. Water is also a scarce commodity in the region and rainwater is collected and reused within the building.
