Veech x Veech received the German Design Award 2018 in the category Excellent Communications Design/Architecture for “Al Jazeera Network Building – Doha”

VXV’s new landmark structure annexed to Al Jazeera’s pre-existing headquarters provides a platform for interactive news programs for both English and Arabic channels to be directly linked to the London Shard Tower studio. Situated at the core of the new building, the 400 m2 studio features a 360° panoramic hybrid space providing a compelling new vision for how architecture, studio design, broadcast media and digital technologies can make production and distribution faster, responsive and more efficient.

Jury statement

The dynamic roundness and clear design aesthetic of this congenially transparent, open and light-looking building are carried over to the interior and are reflected here by both the interior structure and the design of the furnishings.

April 26, 2017 Las Vegas, USA

VXV´s Al Jazeera Media Network Studio was awarded Best TV Set of the Year by NewscastStudio; the international trade publication for television creative professionals.

Stuart A. Veech, Creative Director at Veech X Veech, states: “It is a great honor to receive the prestigious NewscastStudio award for one of the most challenging projects in our company history; creating both the bespoke architectural building as well as the broadcast media studio, and working with Al Jazeera, to develop a new architectural visual branding for Doha and London locations.”

Ramzan Alnoimi, Director of Network Creative, thanked those who contributed to the design and execution of Studio 14, which was implemented within the framework of developing the comprehensive visual brand of the network. “This win is the fruit of collective effort exerted by the news and programs departments, and Technology and Projects divisions; in addition to a large number of colleagues who worked day and night before the project was completed and equipped with the latest technical technologies in the TV industry,” said Alnoimi.

NewscastStudio was founded in 2003 as SetStudio and became NewscastStudio in 2008 when coverage expanded to include motion graphics, lighting, music and more.

NewscastStudio’s Set of the Year competition was launched in 2009. It honors the very best in scenic design for television news, sports and entertainment programming, along with lighting design and augmented reality.
