The Mastaba of Abu Dhabi

By the way, how are the plans for Christo and Jeanne-Claude's project for the United Emirates going along?


(Plans call for 390,500 55-gallon stainless steel oil barrels of various bright colors that “will give a constantly changing visual experience according to the time of the day and the quality of the light.”)


(The structure will measure 492 feet high, 738 feet deep, and 984 feet wide.)

Perhaps the duo are presently occupied with Over the River?

Meanwhile, wouldn't it be deliciously intriguing to hear that Dubai is scheming to snatch the project away from its rival and that Christo and Jeanne-Claude are receptive to a change of venue?

Just wondering.
