A lot of commotion accompanied the opening of the skyscraper Burj Khalifa in Dubai and there is hardly anyone who does not know that the world has a new tallest building.

Adrian Smith is the architect, Bil Bakei is the chief construction engineer. The building is 828 m high and has offices and living areas, as well as the first in the word Armani hotel.
