Burj Dubai - World's tallest building
The world's tallest skyscrapper being built (800+ meters tall). See http://www.burjdubai.com/content/thetower.asp for details & progress... "No stranger to Middle Eastern design, Adrian Smith (the Architect) incorporated patterns from traditional Islamic architecture into Burj Dubai.
But above all, he drew inspiration from a flower. The Hymenocallis is a plant that is widely cultivated in Dubai, in India and throughout this region. The flower’s harmonious structure is one of the organizing principles in the tower’s design."
