Online design magazine Dezeen has done a cool map (using Google Maps) charting major architectural projects that are underway or slated for construction around the Persian Gulf.
You'll see the rendering of the Dubai Opera by Jean Nouvel. The big swoop by Zaha Hadid that will be the Abu Dhabi Performing Arts Centre. Frank Gehry's got a contract for another Guggenheim that may remind you of...who's that guy? -- oh, Frank Gehry. And Tadao Ando has an arresting design for a Maritime Museum.
When you're done with that, check out the rest of Dezeen -- even though it only launched this past November, we think it's already one of the best sources for all things design on the web.
