 How would you like to live in a
building almost a kilometre high? In Dubai, you can, provided you can afford it.

 Burj Dubai, set to be the world's tallest tower, can provide such an
apartment. While it's eventual height is being withheld, its builders claim it
will cross the Taipei 101 (currently the tallest) in July.

  This
colossal construction marvel is expected to cross 700 metres with over 160
floors on completion. Already 134 floors have been built and at a speed of one
floor in three days, the building should be done by middle of 2008.  The
building is going to hold a luxury Armani Hotel and the entire tower's estimated
population on completion will be 35,000 people.

  Burj Dubai derives its design inspiration from the desert
flower, Hymenocalis, and incorporates patterning systems that are embodied in
Islamic architecture. The tower has three petals arranged around a central core.
As the tower rises from the flat base, the petals set back in an
upward-spiralling pattern.
