"Gehry Player in Abu Dhabi"

Nice spot by Tom Dunne to notice that Frank Gehry has designed a clubhouse for Gary Player's Saadiyat Beach Golf Club in Dubai. The building is apparently a "play on traditional menswear" in that part of the world. Gehry's quote is even better.

“The khandoura that the gentlemen wear the white clothes we’re thinking of this as [evoking] a kind of oasis or mirage in the green. It’s going to have a floating quality. It has all the functional requirements of a building, but it feels ephemeral.”
