The world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, is the tallest building in the world with over 160 stories! It contains corporate space, 900 residences, and is surrounded by a beautiful park. This incredible structure was the brainchild of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai. I was very interested in the information about the wind testing during the Burj's initial construction. The "stack effect" was studied by architects in Canada to design the building in such a way that the wind speed was equalized on every part of the Burj. Here's the view from the top:
