Burj Dubai Becomes World’s Tallest Building
Burj Dubai has officially become the world’s tallest building after passing the Taipei 101 at 1,680 feet. What once was a small trading town, Dubai is now the center of the universe for new and exotic construction.
Burj Dubai, a tower rising in the booming Gulf emirate, has become the tallest building in the world at 512.1 metres (1,680 feet), surpassing Taiwan’s Taipei 101 which is 508 metres (1,667 feet) tall, developers Emaar said Saturday.
Burj Dubai, or Dubai Tower, now has 141 storeys, more than any other building in the world, Emaar Properties said in a statement.
The skyscraper, scheduled for completion in 2008, is one of a string of grandiose projects taking shape in Dubai, which is part of the United Arab Emirates. via Yahoo! News

I remember in the early 80s a Japanese Architecture firm drew up complex plans for the worlds first mile high skyscaper. At 5200 feet it obviously was not worth building anywhere at the time. The renditions I saw were strikingly unique to the Burj Dubai. I wonder if this firm has any involvement in this project.
