The Yas Hotel, on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, was conceived as two towers connected by a bridge and united by a stunning glass and steel grid-shell element.
The hotel’s sweeping grid-shell element, built by Austrian specialist Waagner-Biro, illuminates at night using more than 5,000 custom LED fixtures and a sophisticated control system, the result of an intensive design effort by Arup Lighting, who was engaged by Asymptote to create a lighting solution for both the iconic canopy and the hotel’s exterior.
This extraordinary project is described in detail in an article I wrote for Architectural SSL Magazine here.
