Default Bradd Pitt to design Hotel in Dubai

WTF does Brad Pitt know about hotels?
apparently it matters not

http://www.arabianbusiness.com/52272...-project-axing

some classic lines here.

"Pitt said the project would underpin his values for environmentally-friendly architecture and embrace his career in entertainment."

"The hotel will eventually play host to the "most glamorous events and award ceremonies", according to Zabeel."

maybe it's the next big thing for has-been 'celebs'... Chavs can easily enough be persuaded to buy a perfume because it has been 'designed' by some wash-up, after all.

It just follows on from the other named buildings that are being done in Dubai.

There is the Niki Lauda building that had all the fire exits removed from the design.

Also the boris Becker building that doesn't have any cleaning cupboards.

Schumacher also has one, which will house Dubai's large population of cobblers.

not quite the same... to be fair to the Pittster - he has studied (for a while) with one of the world's most reknowned architects, Frank Gehry. http://www.businessweek.com/magazine...0/b3953401.htm

Admittedly, this doesn't qualify him like a 7 year uni course in architecture, but it puts him a little bit above just sticking your name on the plans...

maybe... oh I don't care....

Don't quote me but I think he has been designing properties and building them for the last 15 years or so, I seem to remember reading that somewhere. Anyway, I'll be at the opening night if he is (Ms Jolie will be off having babies somewhere and won't be able to attend!).
