The Yas Hotel in Abu Dhabi used parametric design to create a complex facade and interior spaces that respond visually to the environment. The grid shell facade features 5000 individually lit angled glass panels and a curved bridge encloses 980 square meters of interior space. Parametric design allowed the architects to combine aesthetics with efficiency while accelerating the design process.
