[edit] Burj al-Arab?

I've seen a rough drawing of the Burj al-Arab in a book by Colani, without any comment. Surely the architecture fits the values of Colani, but I've never seen any reference to him, especially not on the internet. Can anybody shed some light how the design of the hotel emerged, and if Colani played a role in it? Thanks :-) Peter S. 23:23, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Peter, No, Mr. Colani was not involved with the design of the Burj Al-Arab. But I agree, it looks like it is designed from him. He created some designs for skyscraper years ago which yes, they looked like Burj Al-Arab , probably some involved took some inspiration from his ideas...hope this helps. (84.227.187.138)
