Currently the tallest building in the world: Burj Khalifa.

Burj Khalifa, formerly known as Burj Khalifa, is also known as Dubai Tower or Burj Bilifalia.

The Burj Khalifa is 828 meters tall and has 162 floors and cost $1.5 billion, and the building itself cost at least $1 billion, not including its large shopping mall, lake and slightly lower towers. A total of 330,000 cubic meters of concrete, 10,000 tons of reinforced steel and 10,000 square meters of glass were used in the Burj Khalifa.

The Burj Khalifa was built in 2004, on the evening of January 4, 2010 local time, the Ruler of Dubai, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, unveiled the curtain on the "Burj Khalifa" monument, known as the "world's tallest building", announcing the official completion of the building and renaming it "Burj Khalifa".

Dubai has a population of 2.26 million, most of which is still desert (covering more than 90% of the land) or sparsely populated, creating the world's tallest building is an important measure to raise Dubai's profile.

The facilities in the Burj Khalifa such as luxury apartments, clothing stores, swimming pools, spa clubs, superior personal business suites and viewing platforms on the 124th floor overlooking the whole of Dubai are all available, and the Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani also built the first Armani hotel in the building, becoming the first Armani hotel global chain, and all the interior decoration and furniture design follow the style of the Armani brand.

The tallest building in the world is the Burj Khalifa. Formerly known as the Burj Khalifa, the Burj Khalifa has been the world's tallest building measured by both total height and standard height since its completion in 2009, and has retained this title for a decade. It is expected that this title will remain with it for at least four years until it is surpassed by the Jeddah Tower (formerly known as the Kingdom Tower) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, or the Dubai Creek Harbour Tower, also located in Dubai, a few kilometers away.

Features of Burj Khalifa:The overall shape of the Burj Khalifa is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, one section at a time, towering into the sky, and the design is inspired by the desert flower spider orchid. Due to the astonishing height of the building of 828 meters, the use of this shape can improve the overall stability of the structure, but also to resist the raging desert storm in Dubai, and at the same time has both aesthetics and design, very futuristic sci-fi style.

The design of the Burj Khalifa's Y-shaped floor is inspired by the spider orchid, the flower of the desert, which maximizes the integrity of the structure and allows for stunning views of the Arabian Gulf. In the center of the building there is a hexagonal "buttress core" of reinforced concrete structure. The floors are arranged in a spiral pattern, ready to withstand raging desert storms.

The tallest building in the world is the Burj Khalifa.

Burj Khalifa is a completed skyscraper located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with a height of 828 meters. Construction of the Burj Khalifa began in 2004 and was completed six years later in January 2010, costing $1.5 billion to build the building, which has a total of 162 floors. When the building was successful, it shocked the world, and from a distance, it looked like a building floating in the air.

The Burj Khalifa was decided to be built in Dubai, one is to carry out the first economy, and the other is to be used for services and sightseeing. Dubai's economy is mainly based on oil**, but most of the land is desert, the population is very sparse, and there is little visibility in the world, so the decision to build such a tallest building in the world is undoubtedly a success, and the construction of the Burj Khalifa has indeed made Dubai more famous internationally.

Wonders of the Burj Khalifa:

The 828-meter Burj Khalifa, because it is high enough, creates a time difference in sunset, and also brings the wonder of watching the sunset twice a day. The first time, watch the sunset from the ground floor, the light of the setting sun on the surface of the Burj Khalifa, and the second time, take the express elevator to the observation deck and watch the sun slowly set over the sky.

The principle is that if you stand on the ground, you will see the sun disappear before you are high, because of the height difference, the sun disappears into the horizon and there is a time difference, and only a tall enough building can reflect this time difference. In the case of the Burj Khalifa, for example, the time difference is about 5 minutes. We can take advantage of this principle to watch the sunset from the ground, then take the elevator at 10 meters per second and climb the tower in 1 minute, so that we can catch the second sunset from a high place.
