Architecture and Design
The Burj Khalifa, towering at 828 meters (2,717 feet), is the world's tallest structure and a pinnacle of modern engineering and design. Designed by Adrian Smith of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, its architecture draws inspiration from the Hymenocallis flower, featuring a triple-lobed footprint and tapering setbacks for stability against Dubai's desert winds.
Construction began in January 2004, involving over 12,000 international workers. Notable achievements include the largest continuous concrete pour and the use of high-performance concrete essential for its height. The "jump formwork" technique allowed rapid progress, with one floor completed every three days.
The interiors, designed by Giorgio Armani, exude luxury with minimalist lines, high-quality materials, and custom furnishings. The lower floors house the Armani Hotel, while observation decks on the 124th, 125th, and 148th floors offer interactive displays and panoramic views.
Sustainability is integral to the design, featuring reflective glazing, aluminum cladding, and a condensate collection system for landscape irrigation.
