DDD and VCUarts Qatar collaborate tofoster sustainability through design
QNA Doha Doha Design District (DDD) and VCUarts Qatar have collaborated with artist Abdelrahman Al Muftah to design an innovative, sustainable sanctuary for Qatar's native Bulbul birds. The Bird Cluster project, which includes a planter, bird nest, watering tray and feeding tray, has been brought to life in Msheireb as part of DDD's commitment to advancing Qatar's Vision 2030, a future driven by sustainability and innovation. By encouraging collaboration and empowering emerging designers, this project exemplifies how DDD and VCUarts Qatar are cultivating local talent to create impactful solutions that benefit the community. Director of Doha Design District Dana Kazic said: 'This collaboration with VCUarts Qatar and Abdulrahman Al Muftah reflects our mission to nurture creativity and empower young designers to address real-world challenges through meaningful design. By merging sustainability with innovation, we're not only working towards contributing to our national vision but also inspiring the next generation of designers to think critically about their role in shaping a better future for our society.' Rab McClure, professor and director, MFA in Design, VCUarts Qatar, said: 'The Bird Cluster project embodies significant and meaningful ideas. It stands out for its research-driven design approach, supported through the collaborative efforts of VCUarts Qatar and Doha Design District. This work exemplifies the kind of locally rooted, socially conscious design we strive to cultivate, creating projects that help to advance the broader vision of a sustainable urban environment for all.' Al Muftah worked closely with DDD and VCUarts Qatar to ensure the structure was both sustainable and innovative. Inspired by traditional Qatari architecture, the design seamlessly integrates into the urban landscape while providing functional nesting spaces for smaller birds. The compact yet secure structure features entry points specifically designed to exclude larger invasive species, ensuring a haven for Qatar's native Bulbul birds. This attention to detail highlights the project's dual focus on preserving biodiversity and maintaining harmony with the environment. Abdulrahman Al Muftah, designer of The Bird Cluster, expressed: 'Working with Doha Design District and VCUarts Qatar's Boost Lab to bring this project to life was truly rewarding. As a designer, I'm passionate about integrating flora and fauna into public spaces because it creates environments that support biodiversity and multiple species can thrive together. For me, thoughtful design goes beyond aesthetics - it's about understanding and considering the broader environmental impact of what we create. Every design decision ripples outward, affecting not just human users but entire ecosystems.' This initiative emphasises the broader significance of collaborative efforts between DDD and VCUarts Qatar. By bringing together creative minds, local expertise, and forward-thinking design principles, projects like this contribute meaningfully to society, benefiting both the environment and the community. Through this partnership, DDD and VCUarts Qatar continue to demonstrate how design can be a powerful tool for driving positive change and building a more sustainable future for Qatar.

Doha Qatar University (QU) has announced the admission of approximately 6,000 male and female students for the upcoming Fall 2025 undergraduate semester. This includes new students, transfer students from other universities, applicants for a second bachelor's degree, visiting students, and course-based students, 70 percent of whom are Qatari. QU's Vice President for Student Affairs Dr Mohammed Diab stated that the enrollment of this new group of students is a testament to their great confidence in their national university and their keenness to pursue their university education at a leading institution that offers the widest variety of academic programs and specializations in the country. He expressed Qatar University's commitment to providing a comprehensive educational experience that goes beyond academics to include activities that contribute to the development of students' skills, personalities, and capabilities. He affirmed the university's commitment to providing a stimulating and supportive environment that enables students to benefit from all available resources and opportunities, and to continue excelling throughout their studies until they achieve their future aspirations. He called on all admitted students for Fall 2025 to review their admission decisions through their electronic admission accounts on the university's website. He reiterated that admission to Qatar University is based on competitiveness among applicants, and that meeting the minimum academic requirements in the high school certificate does not necessarily guarantee admission to a college. Students are admitted each semester based on the capacity of each college individually. He encouraged students who were not admitted for Fall 2025 to apply for the upcoming Spring 2026 semester. In a related context, QU announced that the electronic orientation program on university services and policies will be held for new students starting August 17 for all colleges. The university indicated that all admitted students will be contacted via their email with details and links related to the orientation platform. Qatar University will also announce on August 14 the scholarship decisions for newly admitted and enrolled students for Fall 2025. These include admission excellence scholarships, HH the Amir's academic excellence scholarships, scholarships for GCC nationals holding Qatari high school certificates, outstanding performance scholarships for enrolled students, and scholarships for children of Qatar University employees.
