Gensler Msheireb Properties Project
Internship position: Applying at the Gensler, Chicago office I found my self in a position to use my knowledge of CAD basics and critical time management to aid in the completion of the Phase 2 documents of the Msheired Project. I was brought on to the team at an early stage in Phase 2, and quickly gained knowledge of the work flow and detail process. I was in contact with the London office constantly and I became very integrated with my co-workers overseas working on my specific building set. Slowly our team got bigger and I was doubling drafting with training new people on the team to understand the conventions and format of the project. Working closely with the project architect, I was moved into the position of plot manager, where I was put in charge of supervising a 4-person team to complete the collection of sheets corresponding to my assigned building on the site. Msheireb Properties Project: Msheireb Properties (formerly Dohaland), appointed Gensler as Architect of Record for Phase 2 and Phase 3 for their flagship project Msheireb. Gensler was to oversee all detailed design work for buildings designed by a total of six design architecture firms including Squire and Partners. Responsible for construction documentation stage and full-time site supervision up to project completion. The Phase 2 scope of services consisted of comprehensive design supervision of 10 mixed-use buildings totaling an area of 144,888 m2 GFA. The QR20bn Msheireb scheme will transform a 31-hectare site at the center of Doha, recreating a way of living that is rooted in Qatari culture, attracting residents back to the city center.
