I always maintained that the object in question is primarily a construction site, and the fact that a hotel or museum is being built is at most worth a note; whereas others were of the opinion that the object in question is primarily a hotel or museum, and the fact that it is under construction is of secondary nature. It sounds like you want to create an extremely literal map devoid of any information that is not literally "on the ground". Perhaps such a map has a use, but a map which is unafraid to include a few subjective facts (with appropriate safeguards) is vastly more useful.
