One of the greatest architectural achievements of all time is the Burj Dubai, which is located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
(UAE). Although the towering structure is still under construction, it has already past the height of the former tallest building
in the world. The Taipei 101 in Taipei, Taiwan, held the title for about fours years before the Burj Dubai sprouted higher. Not
only is the Burj Dubai currently the world's tallest building, but also the world's tallest freestanding structure. The CN Tower
in Toronto, Canada, held that title until 2008, when the Burj Dubai eclipsed it. When finished, the Burj Dubai will stand over
160 stories high and will have taken over five years and tons of reinforced concrete, steel, and glass to complete. Upon
completion, the building will house both residential and commercial spaces including business suites, fitness facilities, hotels,
luxury pools and spas, and an observation platform. Because of its enormous size, the builders of Burj Dubai took care to
make it resistant to the effects of winds and earthquakes. The building has a special design that will help prevent a
catastrophe.
