On the other hand, this sort of shape is more suitable for the hotels and residences, in which the scenery from the outdoor should be highly concerned, the Y-shape design can provide the people living in it with views to the greatest extent, that is why the lower portion that below the level where the Y-shape is more apparent is used for hotels and residences and the upper portion where the Y-shape has almost transformed to circular is occupied by offices, where people working there are supposed to concentrate their focus on their work not the scenery.
Burj Khalifa was developed by Emaar Properties, a renowned local real estate firm that has also developed many other skyscrapers in Dubai and now they are working on next tallest structure of the world which temporarily named 'Dubai Creek Tower'.
The construction of Burj Khalifa was contracted by Samsung Construction, a subsidiary of Samsung Group, the group is best known for its electronic products and in respect of construction it had also constructed many famous buildings around the world including Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur and Taipei Tower in Taipei. The construction began in , the building started rising in March After that Burj Khalifa grew very fast, below is how it looked in February The building had become a floor highrise building from a Y-shape base structure in less than one year.
As the building tapers into the sky, the construction became faster when the building built to higher floors. As of January , the tower had become an imposing supertall skyscraper that has more than one hundred floors built.
And one month later it became the building with most floors on the earth. The tower surpassed Taipei to become world's tallest building in architectural height by July In less than a month the tower surpassed Sears Tower's antenna at m becoming the world's tallest building in any category, unofficially though. In September the CN Tower was surpassed by Burj Khalifa and lost its title of tallest free standing structure in the world, not officially again, as Burj Khalifa was still under construction and growing.
Although the tower had already become the tallest building and tallest structure in the world, the height of Burj Khalifa was still substantially growing. The tower topped out in January at its full height of The whole project cost 1.
But for buildings in Dubai, this number is far ahead of other supertalls while the majority of Dubai's supertall skyscrapers cost only around million dollars. Burj Khalifa has the world's highest building-based observation deck. When the tower first opened in , they opened the observation deck on level named At The Top at the same time, it's a observatory that contains outdoor terrace, at meters high, almost only a half height of the tower, even Shanghai World Financial Center which is only meters tall has a observation deck at m high.
But At The Top had been the highest observation deck that contains outdoor terrace until the Canton Tower's m high outdoor observatory surpassed it. In Burj Khalifa opened its second observation deck named At The Top SKY at level at height of m, surpassed the observation deck of Canton Tower, which was the highest observation deck back then.
This is one of them. Yes, we did. We really enjoyed the Bellagio style fountain show that happens every night at the base of this building. Although I'm usually afraid of heights, the view from the observation deck was fascinating, and not at all scary.
So interesting to look down on skyscrapers. I agree, Anne! Definitely worth a visit! I think I took one of the exact same pictures that you did! It was really interesting to get a view from so high up.
Did you see the funny pictures they do of people climbing, falling off, etc? Those were tempting but way too expensive — clever though. Wonder if we were there around the same time — week of March 14th? Hi Kay! No, we visited Dubai back in November on our way to the Maldives. We did see those funny pictures — what a clever souvenir!
Amazing documentary Jen, congratulations. Qatar is planning to build a tower more high than Burj khalifa. If this fact will be true, will you be there?
I want to see somethings there, but I would like to see you there in 8 years. Hi guys! The height of the Burj Khalifa is m. And the tallest constructing building NOW is the Kingdom Tower, 1, m tall, 3, ft, floors, and the construction starts at the end of It will be completed on It is half height of the Mount Everest the tallest mountain in the world , in Nepal and Tibet.
And the tallest anything is the Space Elevator in Indonesia. It will be completed in , so I am already years old when , and now I am 7 years old. My birthday is Oct 25 And now, i forgot to say, X-Seed will be built in Tokyo, Japan. And now, I forgot to say, the height of the Sky City in China in feet is 2, So thats all for now. Thanks for your comment Brandon, but Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world as the other buildings you mention are not complete.
So until then, Burj Khalifa gets the distinction. Sky City was cancelled due to lack of design detail and doubts about its structural integrity. I think you will find similar information about the other buildings you listed.
I actually worked on the wood floors in the burg and it truely is an amazing buidind both inside and out. My neck still suffers due to trying to see the top lol. The circumference of the world is about feet a quarter of that is I was told that there is an almost constant mist near the top due to the height. Is that true? Even in the desert?

Supertalls: The Next-Generation. With the completion of the Burj Dubai, one is left to question: how much higher can we go? Undoubtedly, the lessons learned during the design Sustainable Strategies for High-Rise Buildings. High rise buildings present opportunities for passive and active sustainable strategies that are not so readily available to their less tall counterparts.
This presentation demonstrates Interview: Burj Dubai. As the Burj Dubai nears completion in , the Burj has been well documented in both design and technical terms. Envisaged as the "jewel in The presentation also briefly presented Designing the Burj Dubai.

Please try a different variation. Beginning in the late 19th century, construction of skyscrapers spread throughout Chicago, New York City, and then the world as demand of space in buildings The Tallest 20 in Predictions vs. The Tallest 20 in Then and Now. This was a The total number As international design teams participated in the development of high-rise structures around the world, many of the concepts of fire-safe design first introduced in the Highest Special-Purpose Spaces.
In this study, we examine those In that year, there were completed buildings of meters or Towering Aspirations in Dubai and Beyond.
Tall buildings which began from about 40 m tall office towers in the late 19th century have evolved into mixed-use megatall towers over m This is the fourth record-breaking year in a row, and it brings the Tall building construction can benefit from a programmatic approach.
By looking at the overall development as a whole program of works, identifying the deliverables required Reflecting on the Inauguration of the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Dubai is a city that emerged in only a decade. Though facing successive challenges it has built an attractive reputation around the world. Highest occupied floor Height is measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance to the highest continually occupied floor within the building.
Maintenance areas are not included. Height to tip Height is measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance to the highest point of the building, irrespective of material or function of the highest element. This includes antennae, flagpoles, signage and other functional-technical equipment.
