Collaborative Matrix

This was awarded to us through our founder Reema, who won second plave in Qatar Museum's Public Art Competition.

The concept for this public art design draws from Qatar’s resilience and collaborative spirit. It speaks to the power of individuals coming together and the power of the collective that stems from collaboration.


We have designed a matrix made up of individual rectangular cube units that when assembled create a matrix. It allows people to sit and collaborate on projects, gather, discuss ideas and
work together. These cubes are made of an aluminum frame and terrazzo tiles. The terrazzo
tiles are made using repurposed ceramics made in Qatar that speaks to Qatar’s pottery heritage.

The system is flexible and can create many different variations based on the site and location
by adding or removing units to the overall matrix. It adds an element of functionality to the concept of traditional public art and is meant to allow the public to engage with it.
