HIGHTECH HOTEL
WHAT’S HAPPENING
You built a model of a hotel tower in Dubai, United Arab
Emirates, called Burj Al Arab, or Tower of the Arabs. It is
one of the tallest hotels in the world and was designed to
resemble the sail of a ship. The floor plans are like sections
of a pie. A huge central mast of reinforced concrete and a
steel exoskeleton support the building.
Adjust the rods so that the two arcs of the
tower follow a smooth curve, removing spots
where they are twisted, buckled, or crooked.
Follow the general tips for model refinements
on the inside back cover to finish your model.
