The Burj Khalifa is indeed a structure in the center of Dubai that truly cannot be missed as it pierces right through the sky. It stands tall at an impressive height of 828 meters or 2,717 feet, which places it as the tallest building worldwide and is a testament to the best that can be achieved by human beings in their quest to design structures. The Burj Khalifa was completed in 2010 and is not just a skyscraper but is a symbol of ambition, innovation and what can be achieved through modern engineering. The architect of the Burj Khalifa is Adrian Smith of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and this building is one of a kind in that it was designed with the latest technologies and with sustainable practices in mind.
The design of the building is inspired by the Hymenocallis flower, that combines cultural elegance with aerodynamic functionality. It has residential spaces, luxurious hotels, offices, and observation decks from which one can view breathtaking scenes of the city and even further. The building was constructed using more than 330,000 cubic meters of concrete and over 103,000 square meters of glass, and the building's engineering has proved excellent in combating extreme desert conditions. It's not a building; it is a building that is a beacon of inspiration to all architects and dreamers around the world.
The Burj Khalifa is such a beautiful structure. At one time, it will be during the day and beams with sunlight. At another time, it will be the night when it is adorned by the lights of the sky. It is the manifestation of man's imitative desire to fly not only in a metaphorical sense but also in the actual sense. It is a wonderful product that attracts visitors in millions from all over the world.
