Product Description

Burj Khalifa rises gracefully from the desert and honors Dubai with its extraordinary union of art, engineering and meticulous craftsmanship. At 828 meters (2,716.5 ft.), the equivalent of a 200-story building, Burj Khalifa has 160 habitable levels, the most of any building in the world. In 2003, as a result of an international design competition, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM) was selected from a group of five international competitors to carry out the architecture and engineering of the Burj Khalifa.

SOM incorporated patterns and elements from traditional Islamic architecture, but the most inspiring muse was a regional desert flower, the Hymenocallis, whose harmonious structure is one of the organizing principles of the tower's design. Three 'petals' are arranged in a triangular shape and unified at the center, and instead of repeated identical patterns, the architectural plan appoints successively receding and rotated stories.

To support the unprecedented height of the building, the engineers developed a new structural system called the buttressed core, which consists of a hexagonal core reinforced by three buttresses that form the 'Y' shape.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely! My 6 years old loves it 29 Dec 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
I bought this Lego Burj Khalifa building for my son to build over Christmas holdiay. Having been to Dubai and visited the building on holiday before, my son really loves the model.

The model itself was super easy to put together by my 6 years old son. It took him about 1 hour to finish the whole model. He was proud of himself for being so clever that he put it together in such a short time. It is now displaying in our sitting room.

In terms of playability, it is great for a 6 years old who enjoys playing Lego, but I doubt a 12+ years old (Lego's recommended age) will enjoy it as much.

This is a great product and excellent addition to the architecture range. It is well deigned and gives a true indication of the immense size and design of the real building. This item is not difficult to build.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit disappointing 13 April 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase
I think I was expecting a structure with a bit more of the original's breathtaking flair, but the lego version is small and consists mostly of the same type of pieces assembled one on the other. I should have looked closer at the picture on the box!

My son is a huge Lego collector but he was very disappointed with this. It is diffcult to find fault with Lego but this one is a bit of a waste of money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not much of a challenge 8 Feb 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase
My son is fascinated with this structure and still loves Lego, so this seemed an ideal gift. It's a bit pricey, but I thought it would be something to keep him occupied for a while. This is not the case, however - it didn't take very long at all to complete and although the finished article is a nice novelty, I really don't think this is worth the cost. Good quality, which you would expect from Lego, but not enough of a challenge.
