Burj Dubai is the tallest man-made structure in the world. The Burj
Dubai had its name officially changed to Burj Khalifa during its grand
opening in honor of the president of the U.A.E. H.H. Sheikh Khalifa bin
Zayed al Nahyan. The condensation water collected from the A/C system
equals to 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools
per year and in turn, used for landscaping. Over 330,000 cubic meters
of concrete and 31,400 metric tonnes of steel rebar was used at the
completion of the tower. The tower is situated on a man-made lake which
is designed to wrap around the tower and to provide dramatic views of
it.
