The Burj Khalifa is a building in Dubai that most people only know about because it is the tallest building in the world, but there is really so much more to it than that. The construction of the Burj Khalifa began in 2004 and wasn’t done until 2009. Ever since then, it has been the tallest building in the world at 163 floors (2,722 feet).
The Burj Khalifa is located in the center of Dubai, a city in the United Arab Emirates. There is also a few massive fountains and other attractions just outside of the building. It is a symbol for the city of Dubai and is the most seen attraction in Dubai. The Burj Khalifa contains numerous commercial and residential floors along with a very famous observation deck on the top floor. The building holds many world records including, tallest existing structure, tallest structure ever built, highest elevator, worlds highest restaurant, and many more. Additionally, the Burj Khalifa is over three times at tall as the Eiffel Tower!
The thing that interests me about this building the most is the extremely creative architecture. The building stars out very wide and slowly gets thinner as you get higher. There is also a spiral effect that is created by the fact that the building is not symmetrical, despite the similar designs on both sides. The architecture makes the building able to stand as the tallest and one of the most beautiful beautiful skyscrapers in the world. Also, the land around the skyscraper also adds to the effect. There is a little body of water and an abundance of very interestingly designed buildings surrounding the tower.
