The Yas Hotel by Asymptote Architecture with lighting design by Arup. via Inhabitat

According to Inhabitat,

“created by Asymptote Architecture with lighting design by Arup, The Yas Hotel is a wrapped with a sparkling shell composed of more than 5,300 diamond-shaped panels bristling with over 5,000 LED fixtures. The curvilinear field of lights is capable of running color-changing light sequences and can even display low-res three-dimensional videos.”

So far the images of the Yas Hotel seem like a pretty small official set. Here are some others from a quick scan of flickr.
