Burj Dubai
Downtown Burj Dubai, UAE
Application: Residential Building
The word “Burj” is Arabic for tower & Burj Dubai is the world’s tallest building. The triple lobed footprint of the building is based on the shape of the Hymenocallis desert flower native to the United Arab Emirates. The tower is the centre piece of Downtown Burj Dubai, a large scale mixed-use development. The exterior cladding is made of reflective glazing with aluminum and textured stainless steel spandrel panels. There are vertical tubular fins of stainless steel to withstand Dubai’s extreme summer temperatures.
Burj Dubai stands not only for unparalleled luxury, but with an estimated height over 700 metres, but is architectural accomplishment and a testimony of human achievement. The structure takes its place in history as one of the world’s great landmarks.
