Museum of Modern Arab Art by Rafael Viñoly Architects
A very pretty desert art museum shaped like sand dunes.

one trick pony, granted expected fromVinoly. The lack of interior renderings shows perhaps an unresolving of the dramatic exterior. It fails to inspire me but I am curious to see more

Has anyone bothered to think of the impact of regional weather on buildings in the desert???

I think that a tent in the desert is a fantastic idea, given the proclivity to sandstorms and other violent weather. A tall, shiny skyscraper would certainly be scoured to pieces by an incoming sandstorm, while this large tent, reminiscent of a sand dune, would presumably allow the storm to pass right over it, unharmed.

Personally I think the space is pretty boring.. Flat to be precise.. Come to think of it, the exterior looks nomadic and somewhat contextual.. Now thats a plus point.

this thing is absolutely awesome, like a giant car showroom under an unwashed dish cloth. I’ve heard vinoly is a fabulous pianist too.
