Burj Al Arab, Dubai

This building started in 1994 and was ended in 1999 to be opened in December that year. The main architect of this building is Tom Wright of Atkins. It is a luxury hotel located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. At 321 m (1,053 ft), it is the fourth tallest hotel in the world. 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 mimic the sail of a ship. Sometimes incorrectly referred to as "the world's only seven-Star hotel", its star rating has been often debated.
I really like this building because of its design mostly, I love the way the architect tried to impersonate a sail on a ship, I think that it is a very creative building and a great architecture art form.
