You probably got used to articles on Freshome that feature things like ‘amazing architecture ideas” , “world’s largest…” and so on. We know you like seeing brilliant and unusual constructions here and we will try to keep offering them to you. Designed by
Asymptote Architecture and with a lighting arrangement done by
Arup Lighting, today’s project is located in Abu Dhabi and is called “
The Yas Hotel“. It is momentarily the world’s largest LED building and it was opened on November 3, 2009 in the same time with the Formula 1 Grand Prix. The hotel is controlled through remote device management (RDM) protocol and it has no less than 5000 RGBW LED items. It also features functions such as color-changing sequences and other impressive lighting effects. Still, one has to think how much energy this type of building consumes, in spite of its absorbing and almost intimidating design. -
