Over the weekend, the New York TImes examined five starchitect-designed museum projects set in the Arab emirates of Qatar and Abu Dhabi, and interviewed I.M. Pei, Frank Gehry, Norman Foster (his National Museum in Abu Dhabi is pictured), and Jean Nouvel on their forthcoming buildings. It appears all the men were interviewed in hospital operating rooms--the lighting could not be more unflattering. No matter! Curbed National has a round-up of all the architects' designs, plus a poll. [NYT/Curbed National]
