The Burj Al Arab (Arabic: برج العرب‎, Tower of the Arabs) is a luxury hotel located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is the fifth tallest hotel in the world (although 39% of its total height is made up of non-occupiable space). Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island 280 m (920 ft) from Jumeirah Beach and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. The shape of the structure is designed to resemble the sail of a ship. It has a helipad near the roof at a height of 210 m (689 ft) above ground.

阿拉伯塔 (阿拉伯文: برجالعرب, 阿拉伯塔) 是一家豪華酒店, 位於迪拜, 阿拉伯聯合大公國。它是世界第五高的酒店 (儘管其總高度的39% 是由不可佔用的空間組成的)。阿拉伯塔坐落在距離朱美拉海灘280米 (920 英尺) 的人工島上, 由一座私人彎道連接到大陸。結構的形狀設計得像船的帆。它在屋頂附近有一個直升機停機坪, 高度為210米 (689 英尺), 高於地面。

Design and construction

Burj Al Arab was designed by multidisciplinary consultancy Atkins led by architect Tom Wright, who has since become co-founder of WKK Architects. The design and construction were managed by Canadian engineer Rick Gregory also of WS Atkins. It is very similar to the Vasco da Gama Tower located in Lisbon, Portugal. Construction of the island began in 1994 and involved up to 2,000 construction workers during peak construction. It was built to resemble the billowing spinnaker sail of a J-class yacht. Two “wings” spread in a V to form a vast “mast”, while the space between them is enclosed in a massive atrium. The architect Tom Wright said “The client wanted a building that would become an iconic or symbolic statement for Dubai; this is very similar to Sydney with its Opera House, London with Big Ben, or Paris with the Eiffel Tower. It needed to be a building that would become synonymous with the name of the country.”

Fletcher Construction from New Zealand was the lead joint venture partner in the initial stages of pre-construction and construction. The hotel was built by South African construction contractor Murray & Roberts and Al Habtoor Engineering and the interior works were delivered by UAE based Depa.

The building opened in December 1999.

The hotel’s helipad, one of the buildings most visible contributions was designed by Irish architect Rebecca Gernon who worked as a part of the Atkins team and later went onto founding her own architecture and interior design company (Serendipity By Design). Headquartered in Dubai with offices in Manila and Dublin.

設計和施工

burj al arab 由 多範疇顧問公司 阿特金斯  (Atkins) 設計, 由建築師湯姆·賴特 (tomwright) 領導, 此後成為 wkk 建築師事務所的聯合創始人。設計和建築由加拿大工程師裡克 gregory 也管理 ws atkins。它是非常相似的瓦斯科達加馬塔位於里斯本, 葡萄牙。該島的建造始于 1994年, 在建造高峰期有多達 2 000名建築工人參與。它的建造類似于 j 級遊艇的滾滾紡紗機帆。兩個 “翅膀” 以 v 的形式展開, 形成一個巨大的 “桅杆”, 而它們之間的空間則被封閉在一個巨大的中庭中。建築師湯姆·賴特說: “客戶想要的是一座能成為迪拜標誌性或象徵性聲明的建築;這與悉尼的歌劇院、倫敦的大本鐘或巴黎的埃菲爾鐵塔非常相似。它需要成為一座與國家名稱同義的建築 ”

來自紐西蘭的弗萊徹建築公司是施工前和施工初期的主要合資夥伴。該酒店由南非建築承包商 murray & roberts 和 al habtoor 工程公司建造, 內部工程由總部設在阿聯酋的德巴交付。

該大樓于1999年12月啟用。

酒店的直升機停機坪是愛爾蘭建築師麗蓓嘉·格農設計的, 她曾是 atkins 團隊的一員, 後來成立了自己的建築和室內設計公司 (Serendipity by design)。總部設在迪拜, 在馬尼拉和都柏林設有辦事處。

Features

Several features of the hotel required complex engineering feats to achieve. The hotel rests on an artificial island constructed 280 m (920 ft) offshore. To secure a foundation, the builders drove 230 forty-meter-long (130 ft) concrete piles into the sand.

Engineers created a ground/surface layer of large rocks, which is circled with a concrete honeycomb pattern, which serves to protect the foundation from erosion. It took three years to reclaim the land from the sea, while it took fewer than three years to construct the building itself. The building contains over 70,000 m3 (92,000 cu yd) of concrete and 9,000 tons of steel.

Inside the building, the atrium is 180 m (590 ft) tall.

Burj Al Arab is the world’s third tallest hotel (not including buildings with mixed use). The structure of the Rose Rayhaan, also in Dubai, is 11 m (36 ft) taller than Burj Al Arab.

特徵

酒店的幾個特點需要複雜的工程壯舉才能實現。酒店坐落在一個人工島上, 位於近海280米 (920 英尺) 處。為了加固地基, 建築商們駕駛230米 (130 英尺) 長的混凝土樁進入沙地。

工程師們創造了一個大岩石的地面層, 它是用混凝土蜂窩狀的圓形圈在一起的, 這有助於保護地基不受侵蝕。從海上收回土地用了3年時間, 而自己建造這座建築用了不到3年的時間。該建築含有超過 70, 000 立方米 (92, 000 立方米) 的混凝土和 9, 000 噸鋼材。

在大樓內, 中庭有180米 (590 英尺) 高。

阿拉伯塔是世界第三高的酒店 (不包括混合用途的建築)。同樣在迪拜的 rose rayhaan 的結構比 burj al arab 高11米 (36 英尺)。

Rooms and suites

The hotel is managed by the Jumeirah Group. Despite its size, Burj Al Arab holds only 28 double-story floors which accommodate 202 bedroom suites. The smallest suite occupies an area of 169 m2 (1,820 sq ft), the largest covers 780 m2 (8,400 sq ft).

Suites feature design details that juxtapose east and west. White columns show great influence.[clarification needed] Bathrooms are accented by mosaic tile patterns.

The Royal Suite, billed at US$24,000 per night, is listed at number 12 on World’s 15 most expensive hotel suites compiled by CNN Go in 2012.

The Burj Al Arab is very popular with the Chinese market, which made up 25 percent of all bookings at the hotel in 2011 and 2012.

客房和套房

酒店由朱美拉集團管理。儘管面積很大, 但阿拉伯塔只有28個雙層樓層, 可容納202間臥室套房。最小的套房占地169平方米 (1 820 平方英尺), 最大的套房面積780平方米 (8, 400 平方英尺)。

套房採用設計細節, 東、西並列。白色的柱子顯示出很大的影響力。[需要澄清]浴室採用馬賽克瓷磚圖案裝飾。

在美國有線電視新聞網 go 在2012年彙編的15套世界最昂貴的酒店套房中, 皇家套房的收費為每晚 24, 000 美元, 排名第12位。

阿拉伯塔非常受中國市場的歡迎, 2011年和 2012年, 中國市場占酒店所有預訂量的25%。
