Opening Tomorrow In Dubai

The world's tallest building - by far - opens tomorrow in Dubai:

The building is an engineering feat:

The Burj Dubai offers its own structural innovation: the “buttressed core.” A hexagon-shaped concrete core helps the skyscraper resist the twisting force of the wind while the internal structure of the skyscraper’s three wings buttresses the core and provides further wind resistance to the wind.

It was designed by "Chicago architect Adrian Smith and his former colleagues at the Chicago office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill".



I like the way it looks.

I suspect the elevator ride to the top
will seem to never stop.

It's taller than two Empire State Buildings combined.
which this brings this possibility to mind:

If they ever remake King Kong in Dubai
that poor ape will have to climb twice as high.
