Atlantis, The Palm anchors the crescent of Dubai's man-made Palm Jumeirah with a lobby centerpiece: a glass sculpture that artist Dale Chihuly spent nearly two years creating and personally installed piece by piece in 2008. The 1,544-room resort's Lost Chambers Aquarium holds more than 65,000 marine animals, and Laing O'Rourke prefabricated 1,500 modular bathroom pods off-site, installing them at a rate of 38 a week to build the 22-story tower in under two years. Architect of record WATG fused the design with the myth of the lost city of Atlantis.
