How To Install Tile Around To

BURJ DUBAI

I chose to do the Architect all 'age of 6 years after seeing in the magazines works of Frank Lloyd Wright and Oscar Niemeyer, is a long time ago and after so many sacrifices I have completed what was my dream of life and work. All
'I was struck by universities' Hellenic perfection of the buildings of Mies Van Der Rohe and Louis Isidore Khanna, from 'incredible arenas static Luigi Nervi and believe all' today that it has a huge passion for the subject from the point of view Humanities - artistically and technically - Scientific.
There are things done and people who help to greatly increase my enthusiasm and I refer in particular to the technological development of buildings in the last 15 years.
After shelved in the late 70s, the race for 'tallest building, the' construction industry has been removed in motion in case extent in countries with emerging economies such as Malaysia, China, 'India, the United Arab Emirates.
L 'building shown in the pictures below is the Burj Dubai, currently still under construction, expected to be completed towards the end of this year.

While it is still to be completed, this building on the edge of science fiction is currently the tallest skyscraper in the world with its 150 and 700 planes built meters.
's appearance of the tower once completed will be shown in the simulation below, taken from the study of the Architects of Chicago, "SOM (Skidmore, Owing and Merrill) and its designers.

The laying of the 'last stone of this jewel' Engineering and Architecture has reached, according to the indiscretions of the designers, (data to be considered true) 's incredible height of 820 meters and 170 plans not including the 'antenna.
is below a table comparing the highest existing buildings and the Burj Dubai.

The Burj Dubai is not the only sign el 'assertion of' economies of emerging countries such as Arabs, but is a symbol of changing times is the revival of utopian projects considered as one for a mile-high skyscraper designed by Frank Lloyd Wright of 1956 in which the Burj draws in structural solutions, plant tripod and architectural profiles, indicating that the solutions of the American teacher was not utopian, but all too 'avant-garde to be understood.

The Primacy of this colossus of steel and glass, however, should not last very long, there is already talk of a new tower to be built ever in Dubai, the Nakheel Tower, which should reach the 'incredible height of 1100 meters, and according to rumors and news leaked from the press, according to studies conducted by the designers, it would take 10 years of continuous work to complete it (photo below).

I would spend the last words of this article to talk about the case Italy; our country has no need of some buildings a mile high, but it certainly has a great need for infrastructure of all types in how species in regions lagging behind.
The Land of "don'ts" in recent years has wrapped up conservative positions and certainly not progress which will lead to total breakdown in a short time, if we also analyze the speed at which such changes are introduced by our European partners and in developing countries we will certainly realize that there is much to do.
