Project -02: Mass Model of Burj Khalifa.

Mass Model of Burj Khalifa – A High-Rise Architectural Marvel

During the 5th semester of my undergraduate studies, I undertook an ambitious group project with four of my peers to create a detailed mass model of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. This project was not just a display of design proficiency but also a testament to teamwork, precision, and our collective passion for architectural excellence.

Project Overview
Our goal was to meticulously replicate the design of the Burj Khalifa, paying close attention to the intricate details of the high-rise structure and its surroundings. The scope of the project extended beyond the building itself, encompassing the base podium, landscape elements, and the urban context surrounding the structure.

Design Process

• Research and Planning: We began by studying the architectural design and engineering aspects of the Burj Khalifa, focusing on its tapering form, structural innovations, and aesthetic appeal.

• Material Selection: To ensure the model was both accurate and visually appealing, we carefully selected materials that could mimic the real-life elements of the tower and its environment.

• Fabrication: The construction phase involved precise scaling, cutting, and assembling of components. Each member of the team brought unique skills, contributing to the detailing of different elements like the spire, cladding, and podium.

• Surroundings: We also modelled the adjacent spaces, including the Dubai Fountain, landscape elements, and urban infrastructure, to provide context and enhance the visual impact of the model.
