Ibrahim Al Jaidah, Group CEO and Cheif Architect of Arab Engineering Bureau and IJAE 

Mikey Muhanna, afikra Founder & Executive Director

Drawing on decades of work across Qatar, Ibrahim reflects on how architecture can carry memory, express identity, and respond to change. As Fire Station marks its 10-year anniversary, he looks back at the transformation of the former Civil Defence building into a space for artists and creative exchange, alongside projects such as Al Thumama Stadium for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. His work offers a lens into how Qatari heritage and contemporary architecture can come together to shape the country’s spaces, landmarks, and evolving identity. 

afikra is a creative and editorial production partner specializing in storytelling and cultural content. The Evolution Nation Voices podcast brings together influential voices from Qatar cultural and creative sectors to discuss the evolution, impact, and vision for the region cultural development.
