What are the architectural style characteristics of Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai?

The original idea of ??the Burj Al Arab was proposed by Al Maktoum, UAE Minister of Defense and Crown Prince of Dubai, who dreamed of giving Dubai a Sydney Opera House, an Eiffel Tower-like landmark. After the whimsical ideas of hundreds of designers around the world, coupled with the huge pockets of Dubai people and 5 years, a fantastic building was finally created - combining strong Islamic style and extremely luxurious decoration with high-end The perfect combination of technological means and building materials. The building itself has won numerous awards.

The hotel was designed by British designer Tom Wright. Its appearance resembles a dhow (an Arabian ship) filled with wind, standing majestically on the sea. The hotel was purposely built so that it would not cast its shadow over the beach. The two "wings" spread in a V shape to form a huge "mast". The top of the hotel is equipped with a cantilevered apron structure extending from the edge of the building; extending on the other side of the hotel, is a hotel supported by cantilevers Sky restaurant. Inside the building is the world's tallest atrium, which is 180 meters high. It is made of fiberglass textile cloth coated with Teflon coating that can prevent dust and sand from surrounding the "wings" of the sailboat. The Burj Al Arab incorporated the latest architectural and engineering technologies at the time, and its charming scenery and shape made it seem to be integrated with the sky. This hotel, which looks like a sailing ship in progress, is built on an artificial island on the seaside. It is a sailing-shaped tower building. The hotel adopts a double-layer membrane structure architectural form, with a light and elegant shape, strong membrane structure characteristics and modern style. All 202 rooms are two-story suites. The smallest room is 170 square meters; the largest room, the Royal Suite, is 780 square meters. And all are floor-to-ceiling glass windows, so you can face the endless Arabian Sea at any time.

The most surprising thing is that as soon as you enter the room, there is a butler waiting to explain to you how to use the various high-tech facilities in the room, because the hotel's luxurious and noble service tenet is to ensure that guests have Arabic oil. Wang's feeling is not only surprising, but also impressive about the power of money. Taking the most ordinary luxury suite as an example, it also includes curtains and light switches. There is a Toshiba notebook computer on the desk that can access the Internet at any time. The paintings hanging on the wall are all authentic.

The sheikh’s hope is to have a luxurious, eye-catching landmark that will lead Dubai into high-end tourism. With his extraordinary courage, he selected Tom Wright's team, whose average age was only 32 years old. Before this, they had no relevant experience in high-rise buildings and had never designed a building with more than 15 floors.

Tom Wright’s point of view is that for a building to become a landmark, it must rely on simple and unique shapes. For example, to judge a landmark, it can be drawn with just a few strokes and the location can be seen at a glance. This is a landmark building.
