The world's tallest building
In an architecural feat of engineering, the world's tallest building
continues to rise. Constructed of glass, steel, and concrete, the final
height of the building in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is a closely
guarded secret. What is known is the Dubai Tower now stands at 1,831.5
feet (and growing), making it the tallest building in the world. The
lower 37 floors will house an upscale Georgio Armani hotel, and house
700 luxury condominiums (which sold out in less than a day). I wouldn't
want to be on the top floors when it sways.
