The Aspire Tower is the landmark of the Asian Games 2006 in Doha, Qatar. Located directly next to the Games Stadia, construction of the 318 meter high tower commenced in April 2005, with final completion of the interior due by August 2008. At the top of the structure furniture, an 8 - 10 meter high flame will burn for the duration of the Games. This flame will later be replaced by a laser design beam.

The tower is designed to resemble a large torch, which is achieved with garden wire mesh elements supplied by Haver & Boecker. The facade consists of 3452 single elements with a total area of appr. 30.000 square meters.

Throughout the facade LEDs have been installed within the mesh to create user-defined effects in varying colours. IMAGIC WEAVE, a combination of metal wire mesh and LED technology, provides the possibility to broadcast videos on one area of the tower.

When the tower is fully completed it will incorporate a swimming architectural pool at the 80 m level, a 5-star-hotel, an observation deck, a sports museum and a rotating restaurant at the 200 meter level.
