来自建筑师的描述。卡塔尔国家会议中心（ QNCC ）于2011年12月4日正式成立，是最先进的会议及展览中心之一，采用“席德拉树”为标志性的设计。
From the architect. Officially opened on 4 December 2011, the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC) is one of the most sophisticated convention and exhibition centres built to date, boasting iconic design bearing the ‘Sidra Tree’.

该建筑由日本著名建筑师矶崎新设计，其壮观的外观就如同两个交织在一起的树干，撑着外挑的大屋顶。树木是沙漠中学习和舒适的一盏明灯，也是诗人和学者聚集在其树干之下分享知识的避风港。
Designed by the renowned Japanese architect Arata Isozaki., the spectacular façade resembles two intertwined trees reaching up to support the exterior canopy. The tree is a beacon of learning and comfort in the desert and a haven for poets and scholars who gathered beneath its branches to share knowledge.

卡塔尔国家会议中心注重可持续性。该中心根据美国绿色建筑委员会（U.S. Green Building Council）能源环境设计金牌认证标准得以成功建造。该建筑采用诸如节约用水和高效节能灯具在内的创新手段。
QNCC was conceived with a focus on sustainability. The Centre was successfully built according to U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) gold certification standards. The building is designed to operate efficiently with innovations such as water conservation and energy-efficient fixtures.
