ASYMPTOTE. The YAS Hotel

 
  
 

:   :  : ::: THE FACT
It's the first newly constructed building to cross over a Formula 1 race track

:   :  : ::: THE QUOTE
“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.”
Hani Rashid. Asymptote Architect

 :   :  : ::: THE CRITIC
"the hotel seems built for speed, in particular of the machines cruising by and under it, justifying both its forms (including the odd split solved by the grid structure) and its very existence."
