4. History
• A design competition was held in 1983 in which 14
competitors from around the world were invited. The
Paris-based French architect, Mr. Roger Taillibert, was
selected to design the complex in December 1984. The
design process was then divided into four phases:
Preliminary, Draft, Design and Tender.
• These phases were prepared and completed during the
course of 1985-1986. The construction of the main Club
building commenced in 1987 and Mr. Taillibert set up an
office in Abu Dhabi to supervise the work and the
project envisioned. Ten years later the Armed Forces
officers Club and Hotel buildings were completed. The
renowned architect, Mr. Taillibert, submitted a project
summary to the 1995 cycle of the Aga Khan Award for
Architecture in Geneva.
