The books are a visual exploration of the National Museum of Qatar inspired by the desert rose. The design echoes the characteristics of this phenomenon through the choice of sandy colored cover materials, de-bossing, and printed edges, creating "objects" that like the museum, appear to be emerging from the sand; giving visitors the sense of taking a piece of the museum with them, rather than an image of it. Timeless yet contemporary, the books capture the unique qualities of the new architecture and the old palace, taking the reader on a journey through the immersive museum experience.
