Mystery of Burj Khalifa
The tale begins on a sandy patch of Dubai's landscape, where on the 6th of January, 2004, the ambitious project to construct the world's tallest building commenced. At that time, Taipei 101 in Taiwan held the title, towering at a little over 500 meters. However, the vision for Dubai's skyline was unparalleled—a structure that would not only surpass all existing records but do so by an astonishing 62%. The audacity of this goal was staggering; previous records typically nudged past their predecessors by modest margins of 5% to 10%, at most 19%. Yet, here in Dubai, they aimed for a height of 829 meters, a monumental leap in architectural ambition.
