The creation of the tallest building in the world has become such a status-seeking quest, cities and countries competing for the title have stopped revealing the planned height of their buildings. CNET has just reported, however, that the Burj Dubai tower has just taken the record at 1,680 feet and 141 floors so far - and it isn’t even finished yet (2009)
But will dubai last long as the world tallest? the structural engineers at Hyder Consulting have announced that they are planning what will be, by an overwhelming margin, the world's tallest skyscraper, coming in at double the height of the Burj Dubai – or very nearly one vertical mile. The firm has "confirmed that the tower would be located in the Middle East region," we're told, "but would not give any further details
However, the tallest of them all will be a Japanese building to be build byTaisei Corporation has created a design for the world’s tallest building, measuring in at 13,123.2 feet. That’s almost 8 times taller than the world's current tallest building, Taipei 101, and 6.5 times taller than Burj Dubai, which is currently under construction in the United Arab Emirates and scheduled to take the title of World's Tallest Structure in 2008.The Mt. Fuiji-looking building, officially titled the X-Seed 4000, will be built in Tokyo, Japan, though when (or even if) this will happen is still speculative. Once constructed, the outer-stratosphere-scraper will house between 500,000 and 1 million people on its 800 floors.

ReplyDeleteI've been thinking, in the future, buildings will never be the same as we ever imagined. maybe they will not even called as 'building' anymore as they (will) 'emerge' with the Earth symbiotycally.
ReplyDeleteThe fuji-mountain-alike building for instance, it shows that men are starting to immitate god's creations. If we look at it in a positive way, soon we will realise that God's earth is already ideal for us to live. And all we have to do is LEARN from it.
learn from mountains, seas, islands, trees! Animals?!!
And when architecture will become more natural, we may call it... what...?
ARCHINATURE?
uhh... this thing really fascinates me!
Great information ,Thanks for sharing it
ReplyDeleteWhat do you need other than land, materials, plans, information and cash? Unless we do all the work ourselves, we need building contractors from framers to electricians. We need the skilled workers who can build our dream home. Builder Gold Coast
