Burj Dubai is the height of architecture, just don't look down
- JoeAltmaier 17y agoLimit to brick buildings is 20 stories - after that, the bottom floor has such thick walls it's all brick, no living space. Limit to steel-skeleton buildings is elevators. After around 100 stories, the bottom floor is all elevators. How did the Dubai building get around this?
- Mz 17y agoHere's a photo of the building, which might give a hint to the answer. http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/interactive/2010/jan/04/burj-dubai-design http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/interactive/2010/jan/... (The original article has a picture of the view from the top but not a pic of the building itself.)
