elias123 0 #1 July 5, 2009 Apparently, after the Burj-Dubai, which is currently at 818 meters the tallest man-made structure in the world (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burj_Dubai), an even bigger skyscraper (or skyscrapers) will be built, the Burj Mubarak al-Kabir for example, reportedly in Kuwait, and the nakheel tower http://www.luxurylaunches.com/buildings/burj_mubarak_alkabir_in_kuwait_will_be_the_tallest_building_in_the_world.php , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Burj will both be reportedly over 1000 meters. Other links of the Al-Burj: http://www.realtyna.com/dubai_real_estate/al-burj.html, http://www.burjdubaiskyscraper.com/Al_Burj/al_burj.html There are even projects that reach even higher, like the space elevator, some crazy idea to catch an asteroid, and attach a cable to it, and many other more insane projects are on the way http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_tall_buildings_and_structures I think after the idea of a building like the Burj-Dubai, I think building structures taller and taller are inevitable. It must be awesome to see what projects will actually be realized, and which ones will be jumpable "In a mad world, only the mad are sane" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
