‘Burj Dubai Opus’ – groot boek over grote toren…
Uit de Dubai Chronicle van 13 oktober 2008:
Emaar Properties signs deal with Kraken Opus for exclusive Burj Dubai publications
Emaar Properties has signed an exclusive publishing contract with Kraken Opus, a leading publisher recognised for luxury publications on epic subjects in an epic scale, to create the Burj Dubai Opus, a definitive account charting the creation of the iconic tower.
The Burj Dubai Opus will showcase the various facets of developing Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest building and will feature exclusive content and never-before-seen photography. The publication contract, in addition to one luxurious signature book, will include a limited collection of different formats including specialised versions and collector’s editions. A select set of publications will be auctioned for charity. The flagship book will be housed within Burj Dubai for public display following the opening of the tower in 2009.
Mr Mohamed Ali Alabbar, Chairman, Emaar Properties, said: “Burj Dubai is a singular project that illustrates the success of collective human endeavour. A project of Burj Dubai’s size and scale happens once in a lifetime, and we are showcasing the making of Burj Dubai and its various features with a limited edition collection of Burj Dubai Opuses.”
Kraken Opus is een uitgeverij die zich toelegt op het produceren van bijzondere boek-projecten, in vaak extreem luxe uitvoeringen.
Dit boek zal in diverse uitvoeringen worden geproduceerd, maar de ‘grote’ versie van zo’n 5 meter hoog komt te staan in de hal van de Burj Dubai, die (even) de hoogste toren ter wereld zal zijn.
