The Cauldron that formed the centrepiece of the 2006 Doha Asian Games’ Opening Ceremony was based on an Astrolabe, a historic Arabic navigational tool. A multidiscliplined SKM design team oversaw the project, with additional services for aerial works that provided a spectacular backdrop to both Opening and Closing ceremonies.
