A building is one of those objects that can be erected large-scale, tall, extended, majestic. It is not surprising that these buildings collect a large number of records. In this article we want to tell you about the largest buildings in the world, record holders in various categories. And let's start, of course, with the highest structure.

Tallest building

And this is the Burj Khalifa (Arabic: برج خليفة‎). Other names: Dubai"). The height of the largest building in the world is 828 meters, 180 of which are the tallest spire on the planet. It is located in the UAE, the city of Dubai.

How many floors are in the largest building in the world? The building has 163 floors. The architectural solution of the record holder is also interesting - its shape resembles a stalagmite (a mineral formation on the vaults of caves). The building was opened not so long ago - January 4, 2010. Dedicated to the President of the United Arab Emirates - Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahyan.

The largest building in the world was planned as a “city within a city” - with its own parks, streets, and lawns. Its cost is estimated at 1.5 billion dollars! It was developed by the American design bureau Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, known around the world for other high-profile projects. The author of the appearance of the building is E. Smith. The general contractor of the work is a construction branch of the Samsung Corporation (South Korea).

The Burj Khalifa was planned from the very beginning to be the largest building in the world. Therefore, in the projects its final height was kept secret - in case of news about the construction of a higher-rise building, so that the parameters could be adjusted. Only at the opening of the skyscraper were its true dimensions announced.

Structure of the Burj Khalifa skyscraper

Let's see what the largest building in the world is like inside. According to its main purpose, it is a business center. Residential apartments, offices, hotels, shops are located here:

What else stands out about the Burj Khalifa?

Interestingly, the air circulating inside the building is not only cooled, but also aromatized. The scent used was specially developed by perfumers for the Burj Khalifa tower.

Another amazing invention is the water collection system. As you know, rain in Dubai is rare. But the humid and hot climate makes it possible to organize condensate collection. The designed system helps accumulate up to 40 million liters of water annually! The moisture is used to water green spaces.

There are 57 elevators in the building, of which only the service elevator circulates from the first floor to the last. On others you have to go up/down with transfers. The speed of the devices is 10 m/s. In this they are inferior to the elevators of the Taiwanese Taipei 101, whose speed is 16.83 m/s.
