Amazing how they accomplish such a complex undertaking. Just overwhelming thinking about the logistics involved. A great deal of respect for the architects, engineers and construction workers who worked on this project.
We can, but it wouldn't be affordable for commercial purposes (aka huge quantities). So the increased cost of operations would pass down to customers and result in inflation of prices.
Pyramid is much complex than this building. The Mathematical and architectural precision in Pyramid is way too impressive. Remember those who build the Pyramid had no access to cranes and I don't think any crane can lift 100tonne stone.

Dubai is a soulless city. It's the Las Vegas of the Middle East, it's enjoyable to visit once and only if you have money to spend. I wouldn't want to live there even if I was rich. I'd rather live in Turkey instead for example. So much history behind the country, very culturally rich, and not to mention the beautiful cities and views. Dubai is so overrated.
I completely agree. Been there once and it's soulless and doesn't feel too friendly towards strangers. Despite having so much, it's very very empty (soul wise).
Interesting and worthwhile video. Making sure the ground had the load capacity to hold the weight was a huge issue before and even during construction.
Fascinating clip. Visited there a few years ago. Slightly terrifying at the top but worth it! Another bucket list sorted, but my goodness the heat!!….,😓
There's a lot of, what is essentially, forced labour in Dubai. The workers live in terrible conditions. Just dropped it for ya'. Give it a Google.

I tried looking this up, there are tons of sites saying the sewage has to be trucked away, as far as I can find out, right after it was built they had to truck away the waste, but it is connected to a sewer system now, but I think there still are other buildings in the city where the sewage has to be trucked away. They built everything so fast the utilities had a hard time keeping up.

Dubai is filled with the most bs architecture on earth, it's almost like they looked at the worst parts of American architecture and said... yea, we can make this shit worse. Instead of investing with good urban planning and well thought out architecture with an Identity. - Adam something

Why invest in that American looking bs with more engineering failures that incorporating a proper plumbing and sewage system instead of using shit collection trucks daily. Dubai could have invested in modernizing Arab architecture and being functional, innovative and unique. Instead they're some weird and worse Las Vegas and other gimmicky American rip off.
No way india is going to build a taller building our economic conditions are not that great at the time and the country is most likely to save money for future expenses
Tall buildings are eye catching but not ver practical in my view. If I had the where with all to invest in something unique I would, instead, design a new city in a desert clime somewhere. It would be a domed structure reaching a height of just under ten thousand feet high. Within it would be an entire city, self contained, managed in a very disciplined way. No automobiles allowed. No homeless allowed. No illegal drugs allowed. Controlled underground access via high speed rail ftrom trusted, well established ports of departure. Politics? None. No conflict between "left" and "right" nor any conflicts of interest between any religions. The idea would be to move away from the traditional human settlement andd into something entirely new. It would be a design model and testing platform for future cities on other planets. Tall structures, when slender, are interesting from an engineering scholastic point of view but they are impractical. Consider all the time and money invested for a very limited amount of floor space. Consider also the load per sq meter on the base. A dome structure is very light in this respect. It almost floats on it's base no matter the material. And wind resistance? A dome, properly made of appropriate material, can withstand the strongest winds ever recorded on our planet. Domes make a lot more sense than any tall building on a small base.
I read too much hate, #1. I am a contractor in the USA they don't pay us good and they pay us 9 months after we build something, this isn't slavery? Sewer was not a problem for me,I pooped and didn't see the toilet getting clogged. One thing we will never have in the USAis an spotless city like Dubai has, just go to Los Angeles and see how disgusting our US cities are. Dubai keep the good work 👏
@@simonalison1014 Perhaps high 'relative' humidity but that's only because it's so frigid cold. The feature that is common to all deserts, including Antarctica, is very low absolute humidity/moisture content
In a country where everyone is on the take and there are no building codes and things are built with slave labor, I'd rather just not go there no less go into that death trap of a building.
Although it is impressive, it is nothing more than a show piece. Its not like they cant build sideways - plenty of space. An ego trip for the emirates. Not my cup of tea sorry.
There is a big return on investment from just 1.5 Billion $ Not to mention attracting millions of visitors per year to Dubai. To put this cost into context, the US Military Budget is around 700 Billion per year. Enough to build 450 Burj Khalifas EVERY YEAR. That's enough to fill every major city in the US with more than One similar building EVERY YEAR. Dubai is a mindset other countries should learn from. What I don't get is, people criticise a building which is an investment and a visionary achievement for a country, yet they don't see that it is just a drop in an ocean of investment in KILLING Actual human beings

Not worth $100 ! You have to line up even if you booked to go up the tower and access is limited to one particular floor where you can see parts of Dubai. You can vouchers on groupon cheaper than purchasing at the sales desk of the Burj Khalifa that's if you really insist on going to the top . I had better views from hotels nearby especially in the winter when it is foggy, I booked 55th floor of one of the hotels on sheikh zayed Road and that was much better
It doesn't cost 100$ to visit the upper floors, it's not even half that. Packages start from 150AED which is 40$ And you can even get it for free through some offers in the city
Forgot to mention that the biggest and most glamorous building in the world doesn’t even have a sewage system and that trucks need to line up every day to clear out the waste from the building.

Amazing how they accomplish such a complex undertaking. Just overwhelming thinking about the logistics involved. A great deal of respect for the architects, engineers and construction workers who worked on this project.
The technology and planning involved is an absolute marvel.
they did not plan the sewer system at all, do research on that one and how many trucks they need to pump it out daily.. many hundreds
That’s absolutely deplorable in this day and age. They need to fix it up now and pump it to the desert to fertilise the ground.
@@dertythegrower lol that's a rumour 😂 and that video on UA-cam is bs

what they did to the workers that went there to build their buildings was disgusting.
I went there it wasn't worth my time at all. The view from up there simply looked like a concrete jungle in the middle of a desert
All of this amazing construction feats yet we cant turn ocean water into drinking water without harming the environment and making it affordable.
