Looking up towards Burj Khalifa

It was a long flight to Dubai, but not even for a second I felt tired, rather I was excited and extra energized by the feeling of landing on the rapidly expanding city of Dubai. Burj Khalifa is an incomparable architecture which was one of the main reasons that attracted me towards Dubai.

The architecture of Burj Khalifa is so fascinating that every architect in this world will look forward and get inspired by the work of Adrian Smith, the architect of the structure. I do not know about others, but I have become a fan for sure.

As an architect, it’s a dream come true for me to see and explore the tallest and huge structure that is ever built by the human species. The construction is so unique, that I believe supernatural power or an alien technical support would have helped in the process. The architectural interest led me to collect some technical information which I wanted to share with you people that will stun you. The technical side always seems to be boring, but I am sure that this will not be the case. Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the entire planet, standing 2717 feet tall with 160 floors. It has 57 elevators and 8 escalators with more than 26000 glass panels being used for building. I am confident that you will be amazed by the figures.

I reached Sheikh Zayed Road from where I was able to see the massive body very clearly. My heart beats started rising and I) was so happy that I did not pay the taxi driver and just went on looking at the building when he dropped me. He came running and shouting for the money. I paid him and went on to see my dream come true. Standing below the structure, I looked up and I felt as if I will break my neck. The base is shaped like petals of Hymenocallis flower, which from inside has everything in terms of living, shopping, entertainment, dinning and even residential flats.

Now, it was time to enter into the tallest building. When I entered the building, I saw many fascinating things inside. Each floor has something in store for you like the Armani residence, corporate suits, an At.mosphere restaurant, Armani hotel, and sky lobby. I was not allowed to enter into any residential place and the hotels were too expensive, that I did not want to spend money on them. This was the reason that I decided to go on. The lift was speedy as a Cheetah which brought butterflies in my stomach when it started moving. I had a wish to see Dubai from a bird’s view and this became possible as the world’s tallest observatory is situated on the top. The view is so splendid that I literally felt as if I am on the “Top of the world.” The view replicated the look of the paper map of Dubai that was in my hands. I opted for one hour tour known as “At the top”. The deal was worth accepting as it took me to the entirely covered glass observatory. It was a breathtaking experience that will always remain as a pleasant wound; the pain of which I never want to get rid of.
