About

Project overview

The tallest structure ever built by humanity. Burj Khalifa rises from the desert in a Y-shaped plan inspired by desert lily flowers, tapering through a series of setbacks to a slender spire. Its telescopic form was engineered to confuse the wind, the greatest force acting on any supertall.
