THE Tallest building in the world

We are living in the era of technological marvels where innovation manifests itself in the form of ATM machines, Smartphones, Internet of things, 3-D printers, gigantic skyscrapers, and what not. The engineering wonders have evolved significantly from the time when the first high-rise ever was built to the most advanced superstructure, better known as Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the world’s tallest building.
Started in 2007 and opened on January 14th, 2010, it took nearly three years to finish the construction of the tallest tower in the world. At 2,722 feet (829, meters) tall, the building is visible from anyplace in Dubai. The tower has 163 floors in all and each floor is about 5 meters tall.

It looks an inverted stalactite (a column of crystals hanging from the roof of a cave). The structure is in the shape of a cone made of steel and glass. It is touted as the “city within a city”, implying there are districts, parks, fountains, and passages inside the tower. The world’s tallest building was designed by Adrian Smith of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The inside of the high-rise is as splendid as the outside. The world’s leading designers planned the interiors of the building. For instance, Giorgio Armani is the brain behind the spectacular interiors of the Armani hotel located across 1st to 39th floors of Burj Khalifa. The air-conditioned insides of the colossal tower smell like heaven, thanks to the aroma that was created specifically for this wonderful ambience. There are 57 elevators that work night and day transporting visitors to their desired floors
