The worlds tallest building, the Burj Khalifa has just been opened - it's 828m high, has 160 floors and can be seen from 60 miles away
"We weren't sure how high we could go" said Bill Baker the buildings structural Engineer. "It was a kind of exploration:a learning experience".
I hope he got it rightThe developer said that the building's design had posed unprecedented technical and logistic challenges, not just because of it's height but also because Dubai was susceptible to high winds and was close to a geological fault
Seems like some very good reasons for NOT building it where you didPersonally, I wouldn't be comfortable going into this building.
