Sam Crabtree Blog 12

The Burj Khalifa is another building that is close to “tallest in the world” but this is more than just one building. This area is made of 30,000 homes, 9 hotels, a mall, and you can see the man made lake. The design of this project had to be extremely daunting, but the ability to work on something like this had to be incredible. To build such a pretty building, that tall, structurally sound, and as useful as it is, is an amazing accomplishment in my mind. I would like to see the individual costs that were accumulated for things like glass, and steal while also seeing if they were able to integrate any sustainability features. Awesome building.
