Burj Khalifa

About

Burj Khalifa, located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is the world's tallest building, standing at an impressive height of 828 meters (2,717 feet). Completed in 2010, it was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, with Adrian Smith as the lead architect. The building's Y-shaped floor plan is inspired by local flowers and optimizes space while reducing wind forces. It features a mix of residential, commercial, and hospitality spaces, including the Armani Hotel and At.mosphere restaurant. The Burj Khalifa is a testament to modern engineering and architectural innovation. Its construction involved using reinforced concrete, which provides stability in Dubai's hot climate. The building houses over 160 floors, including observation decks and corporate suites. The tower's design blends traditional Islamic architecture with modern technology, symbolizing Dubai's shift towards a tourism-based economy. It attracts millions of visitors annually, offering breathtaking views of the city from its observation decks.
