  • Burj Khalifa, the Shard, and Rivals by Eva Bogomil
    Burj Khalifa, The Shard, and Rivals by Eva Bogomil Introduction From the early days, we have invariably been interested in the world we live in, exploring, analysing, and altering it at our will. Humanity has gone a long way from caves to modern skyscrapers, aiming for ever greater heights. The power of human ingenuity has conquered the elements to reach the sky and beyond. Nowadays technologies allow us to build skyscrapers that totally change our idea of a modern world. Throughout the centuries brilliant engineers have been inventing more advanced and complex technologies, expanding our abilities. The Acropolis, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower and the Sydney Opera House are all marvellous buildings that have remained objects of admiration for historians, architects, and artists, as well as a source of inspiration for many generations. Even to the general public the structures appear breathtaking. The 21st century saw the dawn of super-skyscraper construction. The Shard, Taipei 101, the Princess Tower, the Abraj Al-Bait Towers, and the Shanghai Tower are just some of the outstanding examples the modern world can be proud of. Burj Khalifa, currently the tallest building in the world, crowns this list of our achievements (Figure 1.0) which keep attracting people, making them wonder how such structures could have been built. Figure 1.0: Height comparison of some of the tallest buildings in the world This essay will focus mainly on London’s Shard and Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. Both of these skyscrapers are unique in their own way, yet similar. The Shard — currently the tallest building in the United Kingdom — dominates London skyline.

  • Building Tall in the Arabian Gulf: Perception | Performance | Place-Making
    Building tall in the Arabian Gulf: Perception | performance | place-making Fahad Alotaibi1, Brian R. Sinclair2 1University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada and Qassim University, Saudi Arabia 2University of Calgary + sinclairstudio inc., Calgary, Alberta, Canada ABSTRACT: Skyscrapers are arguably impressive, excessive, essential and ubiquitous in the intense landscapes of contemporary global cities. As a typology these towers are unparalleled in their costs, demands, parameters and presence. Perhaps more so than any region on the planet, the realities, including both remarkable challenges and outstanding opportunities, of building tall is illustrated and demonstrated in the emerging urban centres of the Arabian Gulf . Despite the massive impacts of this building type, and especially on the burgeoning cities in the Gulf States, research concerning place-making, social perceptions, and sustainable performance (i.e., systemic views) is undeniably lacking. The cities in this region have changed dramatically – transforming overnight from traditional human-scaled settlements, built by local materials and local expertise, into the modern oil-driven technology-propelled metropolitan hubs of today. Over the past two decades the Arab Gulf area has witnessed unprecedented urban growth, especially in vertical constructions which have flourished in Emirates cities such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and more recently in neighbouring Doha (Qatar), Kuwait City (Kuwait), and Riyadh & Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). In relatively spectacular bursts of development these cities have seen their skylines erupt, their streets defined and their buildings soar. Such transformation has multiple impacts on the city, including the shaping of a metropolitan image, influences on inhabitant perceptions and traction towards a more sustainable tomorrow. To gain a better understanding of the impacts of tall buildings in Arabian Gulf Cities, the researchers consider urban growth in three pivotal Gulf cities (Dubai, Kuwait City and Doha) from the early 1970s until present times.

Wojtowitz Aurecon, Pretoria, South Africa ABSTRACT: Innovation has many definitions. For the purpose of this paper the authors lead with the definition stating that for something or some process to be called an innovation, an idea must be replicable at an econom- ical cost and must satisfy a specific need. Innovation involves deliberate application of information, imagination and initiative in deriving greater or different values from resources. In this paper we illustrate the innovative design process applied for the Dubai Creek Tower. Innovation was required due to the immense time pressure and challenging foundation installation depths foreseen using conventional design and construction techniques. By using combinations of total engineering geology approach, efficient parameter choice and choice of param- eter range application, full-scale testing, high-end finite element modelling, modular design and iterative pro- cess between the architect, the structural and geotechnical designers an efficient foundation system for the iconic Dubai Creek Tower was developed, by design.
