The Burj Khalifa, designed by Adrian Smith, is an architectural marvel featuring a triple-lobed footprint inspired by the hymenocallis flower and holds numerous records for being the tallest structure in the world at 829.8 m. Advanced construction techniques and equipment, including concrete pumping and cranes, were utilized to enhance construction speed and safety, influenced by factors like equipment size and climate conditions. The report highlights differences between normal and advanced construction practices, emphasizing improved efficiency, material use, and overall environmental impact.

DESIGN INSPERATION
 The architecture features a triple-lobed
footprint, an abstraction of a desert flower
named Hymenocallis.
 The tower is composed of three
elements arranged around a central core.
 Twenty-six helical levels decrease the
cross section of the tower incrementally as it
spirals skyward.
 A Y-shaped floor plan maximizes
views of the Arabian Gulf. Viewed from the
base or the air.
