The Burj Al Arab is a luxury hotel located on an artificial island in Dubai. It is shaped like a sail and stands 321 meters tall. The exterior is covered in aluminum and glass, while interiors feature rare types of marble, gold, and custom furnishings. Though located offshore, the hotel was designed to withstand strong winds and storms common to the area. It provides luxurious amenities and is considered one of the most luxurious hotels in the world.

 Dubai , United Arab Emirates (UAE).  Stands on an artificial island 280 m (920 ft) from Jumeirah beach LOCATION
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 Hotel.  In English "Burj Al Arab" Means The Arabian Tower.  Burj Al Arab Was One Of The Most Expensive Buildings Ever Built. It Is One Of The World's Only Two "7 Star" Hotels.  Burj Al Arab Is Shaped Like A Sail. Jin Mao Tower, China
ARCHITECT Tom Wright  Architect and designer of the Burj al Arab in Dubai, UAE  It took two years to reclaim the island in the shore waters of the Arabian Gulf and a further three years to erect the magnificent landmark.  From the very beginning Burj Al Arab was planned and designed to become the icon of Dubai.

STRUCTURE
MATERIALS  Carbon  Fiber  Concrete  Fabric  Glass  Gold  Steel
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.
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.
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.
 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
 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.
Plan and Elevation
 Wind pressure more high from the sea  To counter the wind movement through day and night. Orientation
 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
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.
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
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.
 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.
 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.
She also included staggered dancing fountains, a group of aquarius and illumination shows to provide more dramatism to the entrance of the hotel .
 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.
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.
