Fire Safety
The first area of concern, and perhaps most evident, is the fire safety of the Burj Dubai. I chose
to address this area of concern because it probably the most likely dilemma the building will face. There
are many considerations with this. Firstly, public servants need to be able to quickly access any level of
the skyscraper. At the same time, occupants need to be informed of the situation, understand what to do,
and be able to evacuate safely and in a timely manner if needed. Finally, the design has to be able to
handle smoke, not only ventilating it quickly, but by not letting it spread to the rest of the structure.
