The Yas Hotel now under construction by Aldar properties pjsc. Asymptote was awarded the commission to design the building two years ago. The project’s design is a 217-meter expanse of sweeping, curvilinear forms constructed of steel and 5,800 pivoting diamond-shaped glass panels. this grid shell component affords the building an architecture comprised of an atmospheric like veil that contains two hotel towers and a link bridge constructed as a monocoque sculpted steel object passing above the formula 1 track that makes its way through the building complex.
