Yas Hotel Abu Dhabi by Asymptote Architecture Nears Completion
Hani Rashid describes the building’s design and its architecture as: “a perfect union and harmonious interplay between elegance and spectacle. The search here was inspired by what one could call the ‘art’ and poetics of motor racing, specifically Formula 1, coupled with the making of a place that celebrates Abu Dhabi as a cultural and technological tour de force.”

Looking at images like the one above, and ones like this, one can’t help but draw similarities between the Yas Hotel’s twin ‘Grid-shells’ and a certain Theatres on the Bay venue, sitting somewhat in the middle of another Formula 1 city circuit.
