LOCATION

3. DESCRIPTION
 The World's Tallest Usable Full Hotel
Building. If You Counted Mixed Use
Buildings The Jin Mao Tower In China
Would Be The Tallest Which Is Only Half

Tower.
 Burj Al Arab Was One Of The Most
Expensive Buildings Ever Built. It Is One Of

7. EXTERIOR DESIGN
 Burj Al Arab’s island was built far out
enough to ensure that the shadow of
the hotel’s silhouette does not fall on
the other Jumeirah properties on the
mainland.
 Unique in shape and they all have a
simple easily recognizable form
 Anyone can draw it in 5 seconds and
every one recognizes it.

8. The hotel is out to sea because:
 It helps its uniqueness. It looks like a sail /
boat.
 If it was on shore it would block the sun on
the beach in the middle of the day.

9. To face the risk of
flooding by storms that
occur in the Persian
Gulf, perforated
concrete blocks on a
bed of rock, designed
to reduce the impact of
the waves, acting as a
giant artificial sponge.

10.  The sail was a considerable technical
challenge, featuring a double-skinned,
Teflon-coated woven glass fibre screen
across its ribbed belly. It is dazzling white by
day and transformed to display a spectrum of
colour at night, vibrant and alive against the
skyline.
FACADE

11.  The facade is
covered with two
layers of canvas,
separated 60 cm
from each other, in
order to isolate the
excessive heat and
sunlight.
 The canvas are
another reference
to the vessels
sailing the emirate.

12. Plan and Elevation

13.  Wind pressure more
high from the sea
 To counter the wind
movement through day and
night.
Orientation

14.  Dubai’s geographic location subjects the
hotel to severe weather conditions including
strong winds and occasional violent
thunderstorms. Wind tunnel testing was
considered to ensure a safe design.
 “Based on the guidance issued by the UK’s
Building Research establishment (BRE) and
an analysis of 18 years of wind data from
nearby Dubai International Airport, a 50 year
return period windspeed of 45 meters per
second, under the recommendations of
Dubai Municipality, was adopted for the
design.
ENVIRONMENTAL APPROACH
Wind movement

15. In order to protect the chilled-water pipes of the air
conditioning system against condensation and thus
keep
energy losses to a minimum, pipes were insulated
with Armaflex tubes and sheets from Armacell. In
the Burj al Arab, a total of approximately 15 000 m
of Armaflex tubes with wall thicknesses of 19, 25
and 32 mm and 5 000 m² of Armaflex sheets in a
thickness of 25 mm were installed.
The elastomeric insulation material was chosen
because, in comparison to other insulation
materials, it not only has
excellent technical properties (resistance to water
vapourtransmission and thermal conductivity), but is
also very
easy to install.

16. Seismic Effect - Dubai
It's not located in an earthquake intensive zone.
A seismic zone factor of 0.20g was considered the
detailed design phase.
To reinforce the structure from any potential swaying,
two tuned mass dampers, weighing about 2 tonnes
each, limit vibrations
in the tubular steel mast that projects 60m above the
building

17. INTERIOR DESIGN
 The finest and most exclusive materials used for
finishing the interiors of Burj Al Arab were sourced
from all over the world. Custom made carpets and
rugs from South Africa and India; marble from Brazil
and Italy; wooden doors from Dubai and chandeliers
from the UK were amongst the fine items brought in
to create the magical interiors.

18.  Its interior design was
carried out by
Chinese designer
Khuan Chew, famous
decorator of great
hotels in the world.
 Her concept, she said,
was based on the four
elements of the
ancient world: water,
fire, wind and earth.

19.  Chew decided to
work a scale of colors
similar to the
spectrum of rainbow,
from blue to yellow,
slightly changing its
tone as it gains
altitude.
 The floors would be
carpeted in blue,
which has a vivid
effect when seen
from above.

20. She also included
staggered dancing
fountains, a group of
aquarius and
illumination shows to
provide more
dramatism to the
entrance of the hotel .

21.  The rarest Statutario marble was used in walls and
flooring, as was used by Michelangelo when
creating his masterpiece sculptures. Over 30
different types were used throughout the entire
hotel, covering nearly 24,000 square metres:
10,000 square metres of smooth marble flooring in
suites and lift lobbies and 13,000 square metres in
public areas.
 Gold Leaf
Approximately 1,590 square metres of 24-carat gold
leaf was used to embellish the interior.

22. HANGING
RESTAURANT
 The idea of the
architect was to give
diners the feeling that
you're dining in the air,
with an uninterrupted
view of the
surroundings.
 Al Muntaha which,
with its outstanding
C section, is
suspended 200
meters above the
sea, projecting itself
30 meters on each
side of the central
column.
