The General Outlook of Burj Al Arab Hotel at Dubai

Abstract

The Burj al Arab is one of the most important landmarks in Dubai and the UAE. It was one of the most expensive buildings ever built. It is a super luxury 7-star hotel and was one of the tallest hotels in the world. This study intends to see the stunning architectural structure of Burj al Arab in a miniature form. The research method of design utilized in this study is quantitative analysis. The participants of the study sampled 16 (sixteen) STEM Teachers and 6 (six) Strand Heads to assess the significant differences in the level of acceptability of the miniature in terms of constructional materials, procedural methodology, floor plan, and presentation. This study also utilized the floor plan as a guide for the construction of the miniature. The assessment of the two groups of respondents obtained a composite mean of 4.33 as highly acceptable from the STEM Teachers and 4.23 as highly acceptable from the Strand Heads. In terms of constructional materials, STEM Teachers responded with 4.26 as highly acceptable and Strand Heads responded with 4.00 as highly acceptable. In procedural methodology, STEM Teachers responded with 4.50 as very highly acceptable and Strand Heads responded with 4.20 as highly acceptable. In the floor plan, STEM Teachers responded with 4.20 as highly acceptable and Strand Heads responded with 4.40 as highly acceptable. And lastly, in presentation, STEM Teachers responded with 4.36 as highly acceptable and Strand Heads responded with 4.30 as highly acceptable. the respondents forwarded ideas to the researchers to improve the project such as the accuracy of the floor plan and to make it precise and well-presented. They also recommended adding realistic things such as trees, sand, and a toy car to represent the visual image of the project.
