Burj Dubai - June '08 Update

this is an incredible structure. Honestly, 818 meters, nearly a full kilometer straight up. This will not be the only one of its kind, either. In the next few decades, we can expect not only buildings all across the world to match this one, but also structures that will surpass it.

I still look forward to the japanese sky city idea.

@Etimos Eh I do not think this will happen within generation. Maybe 2050-2070.... But not anytime soon.

I think you underestimate the rate of humanity's progress. I sincerely doubt it will take that long. Hell, the WTC buildings were the tallest in the world for a while, and they were both built AND destroyed in my lifetime.

I expect another building to surpass this one within a decade or two of its completion, as this tends to be the trend.

Now the sky city, I dont actually expect to see that built. It's a neat idea, but it would require far too much material.

it is gonna be like 850 meters or less?

it has reached final height already: 818,0 meters

aham j thought it would be about 850 but even thats is very much :D

surface?how much can be the cost for square meter?

Im with the camel..

exellent

Perhaps you may say pinche, Cabron O Chingaderos. Lo siento pero.

Things do happen.
