The drawing machine at the centre of this pavilion is powered primarily by the sun and by the movement of the planet. Two rows of glass spheres of various sizes are supported on adjustable racks above a sheet of fireproof paper. The glass spheres act as lenses that focus the sunlight into points of intense light that burn marks onto the paper. As the position of the sun in the sky changes in relation to the glass spheres, the light travels across the paper, marking it over the course of the day. A motor beneath the table slowly rotates the paper, enhancing the motion of the earth and lengthening the lines on the page. Upon completion, the drawings are removed and displayed, first within the pavilion and later at the National Museum of Qatar.
