Architecture and art pundits are already chiming in (see below) with optimistic/pessimistic takes on the recently introduced plans for a multi-billion-dollar, 670-acre (271-hectare) cultural district in Abu Dhabi, capital city of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
In 2004, the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) tapped Gensler to create a master plan for Saadiyat Island (Island of Happiness), a 10.5-square mile (27-square-kilometer) natural island, into a world-class, environmentally sensitive tourist destination. The centerpiece is the cultural district, master planned by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), scheduled to open under a phased program starting in 2012. Other elements, scheduled for completion by 2018, include 29 hotels, marinas, civic and leisure facilities, golf courses, and housing for about 150,000 residents.
