Burj Al Arab
The Burj Al Arab (Tower of the Arabs) is a luxury hotel located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Burj Al Arab is managed by the Jumeirah Group. It was designed by British architect Tom Wright of Atkins, Said Khalil of Mitchelsson Group with the design and construction managed by Canadian engineer Rick Gregory of WS Atkins. At 321 metres (1,053 ft), it is the tallest building used exclusively as a hotel. However, the Rose Tower , also in Dubai, which has already topped Burj Al Arab's height at 333 m (1,090 ft), will take away this title upon its opening. The Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island 280 metres (919 ft) out from Jumeirah beach, and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. It is an iconic structure, designed to symbolize Dubai's urban transformation and to mimic the sail of a boat. The building was builded in 1994 – 1999. The structure of the building height as following antenna/spire is 321 m (1,053 ft), roof is 210 m (689 ft) and top floor is 200 m (656 ft). The technical detail for the building as following Floor count is 60, Floor area is 111,500 m² (1,200,000 sq ft) and the elevator count is 18. The hotel was built by South African construction contractor Murray & Roberts. The hotel cost $650 million to build. Several features of the hotel required complex engineering feats to achieve. The hotel rests on an artificial island constructed 280 meters offshore. To secure a foundation, the builders drove 230 40-meter long concrete piles into the sand. The foundation is held in place not by bedrock, but by the friction of the sand and silt along the length of the piles. Engineers created a surface layer of large rocks, which is circled with a concrete honey-comb pattern, which serves to protect the foundation from erosion. It took three years to reclaim the land from the sea, but less than three years to construct the building itself. The building contains over 70,000 cubic meters of concrete and 9,000 tons of steel. The cost of staying in a suite begins at $1,500 per night; the Royal Suite is the most expensive, at $5,000 per night.

I like the building because the design and construction of the building is very unique and complicated. To build the building we need high discipline in engineering. I think the building near with my soul. The building is a landmark of the Dubai skyline, designed to represent a billowing sail. The Burj Al Arab is the tallest all-suite hotel in the world, standing 321 metres tall.
My Dream House
