Beyti Beytak • بيتي بيتك • My Home Is Your Home

Beyti Beytak • بيتي بيتك • My Home Is Your Home is a group exhibition of architecture in Doha, open from 26 October 2026 to 29 May 2027. It is staged at Fahad bin Ali Palace in Msheireb. Organised by the Art Mill Museum, it brings together projects by more than forty architects and practices from North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. A new commission stands in the palace courtyard. The show asks how buildings and cities answer ideas of home, hospitality and belonging.

The exhibition first appeared in Venice at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia in 2025. That presentation marked Qatar's first official participation in the architecture edition of the Biennale. In Doha it returns as a second, expanded version with added programming and public events. It is also the first time Qatar Museums and the Art Mill Museum have welcomed visitors to Fahad bin Ali Palace. The residence was first built in 1952 near the Amiri Diwan and reopened in 2026.

The names on show run from Hassan Fathy, Rifat Chadirji, Balkrishna Doshi, Yasmeen Lari and I. M. Pei to AAU Anastas, Counterspace Studio, X Architects and Ibrahim Jaidah. Projects include Sumaya Dabbagh's Mleiha Archaeological Centre of 2016, Heneghan Peng's Palestinian Museum and DAAZ Office's Jadgal Elementary School of 2017 to 2020. Abeer Seikaly's Weaving a Home, a tent above the Dead Sea in Jordan, and OMA's Qatar National Library in Doha also feature. Across the selection, the practices share a concern with community, climate and the particular place they build in.

In the courtyard, the Iraqi architect Ola Saad Znad presents Souq Al Liqa, a newly commissioned reconstruction of the mudhif, the communal structure of the marsh communities of southwestern Iraq. The work is built around the women of the Ahwar, whose weaving and storytelling have kept marsh life going for generations. It treats their heritage as a means of economic support. The exhibition is curated by Aurélien Lemonier, Senior Curator of Architecture, Design and Gardens at the Art Mill Museum, with guest co-curator Sean Anderson. Entry is by ticket through Qatar Museums.
