Introducing the World’s Tallest Building: Mile-High Tower in Saudi Arabia

 

Update 1/4/2010: The Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest skyscraper, opened today in Dubai, renamed as the Burj Khalifa, an impressive 828 meters, or 2717 feet, tall. While not a mile high, as initially speculated, the new tower is still 320 meters taller than the next tallest skyscraper, the Taipei 101 tower.

 

. . . and we thought the Freedom Tower was going to be tall . . .
It is always fun to preview cool architectural achievements around the world! We’ve covered everything from the world’s smallest apartment to the coolest architectural projects in the middle east (includes the then proposed-tallest building in the world) to the world’s largest building (proposed in Moscow – slated to dwarf the Pentagon).
Once again, we’ve learned of a building that is slated to make the competition cry tears of inadequacy . . .
The Daily Mail reported today that Saudi Prince al-Walid bin Talal, one of the richest men on Earth, has unveiled plans to build a tower that will be 1 mile tall (5,280 feet) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia – dubbed the Mile-High Tower.

 hmmm memang betul gila la orang arab ni.... yup... kegilaan dengan teknologi arkitektur yang memang gila-gila.... dan mungkin mereka terlupa agaknya, perlumbaan ni mengingatkan kita bahawa kiamat semakin dekat.... di mana banyak bangunan pencakar langit dibina....

 off-topic : tiba-tiba teringat kat bangunan RM5 billion yang dirancang di malaysia tapi masih tak nampak bayang lagi.... andai kata dengan kos RM30 billion, kita boleh bina 6 menara 100 tingkat tu, dan apa yang pasti, mungkin agak kelakar, penuhla forum2, facebook page, dan macam-macam lagi gerakan penentangan projek seperti ni di ruang cyber.... mungkin juga  isu ini akan dibincangkan sehingga beberapa generasi dan akan timbul ramai so call "pejuang".....

 ops...cukup2, kang jadi isu panas  plak blog aku nie...hahahhaha jangan marah-marah ye pembaca semua.... sekadar berkongsi maklumat yang aku dapat dari berita radio tadi....
