Atelier Aziz Alqatami

Based in Kuwait City, Atelier Aziz Alqatami designs civic plaza shelters and exhibition installations characterized by monolithic concrete canopies pierced by geometric oculi and raw, discolored wall surfaces utilized directly as projection screens. The work serves as a clear precedent when detailing slender canopy spans over public courtyards or when integrating patinated architectural surfaces into scale-shifting art installations.

Interior installation by Atelier Aziz Alqatami featuring a video projected onto a weathered concrete wall, framed by bright red timber framing.

An interior installation precedent by Atelier Aziz Alqatami that juxtaposes raw, weathered concrete walls with vivid red timber framing and a dynamic video projection.

What we like about this project
The video image overlaps uneven textural patches and discoloration on the raw concrete wall.

Geometry
A rectangular video projection is cast directly onto a textured, rustic concrete wall, framed horizontally and vertically by vibrant red-painted timber structural elements.
Structural guess
Non-structural decorative and framing timber members against existing concrete walls.
Spatial scale
Human-scale installation view; projection is roughly life-size relative to a car's perspective, set within a room corner.
Lighting
Low ambient darkness dominated by the glowing video projection and accented by a strong red vertical frame element.
Atmosphere
Cinematic, moody, and focused, contrasting the cold concrete with warm glowing media.
Environmental context
Enclosed interior space with rough concrete finishes and constructed timber insertions.
Spatial experience
The moody, dark interior centers attention on the luminous video projection, creating an immersive threshold or gallery-like viewing condition.
Composition rhythm
The horizontal bars of the red timber frame create a datum line cutting across the projection boundary.
