In some ways the smaller Burj Al Arab is more impressive than the larger model.
This model indicates to me that LEGO should have had an open competitive system for the Architectural series rather than relying on one designer. I, of course, do not know the details of the contract between LEGO and Mr. Tucker or who approached who but nevertheless one can ponder what is best for the "Art of LEGO" vs that of the individuals involved.
