A zine about the Burj Dubai, the tallest building in the world.
The Burj Dubai is a skyscraper currently under construction, since April 15, 2005, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It will soon be the tallest tower in the world.
The lead architect for the Burj Dubai is Adrian Smith of the Chicago office of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill.
Its final height is officially being kept a secret due to competition ; however, figures released by a contractor on the project have suggested a height of around 808 meters!
The total number of floors is expected to be around 160.
A more recent article by building subcontractor Persian Gulf Extrusions and dated September 20, 2006, states a final height "over 940 metres" or at least 3084 feet, but this has not yet been confirmed by Emaar.
As of December 12, 2006, the Burj Dubai was at 94 stories tall, and is now the second tallest building in Dubai, and the seventeenth tallest building in the world.
