Mubarak Tower, Kuwait

while searching & scrolling for some new information...I just found an interesting information ( maybe bende ni da lame cume saye yang baru tau...ngehehe..)

Mubarak Tower, Kuwait: 1001m, 250 floors.

The proposed skyscraper to dwarf Burj Dubai will be located in Madinat al Hareer or "City of Silk" in Kuwait. The interesting thing about this project is that they don't even have the city there yet. The city (actually four inter-connected cities) is going to be built in 25 years.

"The City of Silk, described as "the new Manhattan", will cover a 250 sq. km site in Subiya, Northern Kuwait — transforming the area into a hub for up to 700,000 people.

The project will create a major new city at the gateway to the famous Silk Route across central Asia, and will be linked to Kuwait City by a new bridge — the Jabir Al Kabir"

The skyscraper could house 7000 people, but would cost an estimated £84bn to construct and could take 25 years to complete. It will also feature the world's first triple-decked elevators to move people up and down efficiently. The name of the 1001 metre tower is actually "The Burj al-Kabir Tower" (The Tower of 1001 Nights)

Size comparison with Burj Dubai

manusia makin mengila membina bangunan pencakar langit di sana sini...dan apabila sesuatu project itu berjaya...maka perasaan hasad dengki dan persaingan akan berlaku sesama arkitek untuk membina bangunan pencakar langit yang lagi tinggi...lagi gah...lebih dikenali dimata dunia...manusia memang tidak pernah puas...aku yang terlibat dalam industri ni pon mengalami perasaan yang sama...tapi bile tengok semakin banyak bangunan pencakar langit ni kan...tidakkah ini mengingatkan kita bahawa kiamat itu semakin hampir...tanda2 dunia di akhir zaman apabila bangunan pencakar langit terbina macam cendawan selepas hujan...tidak takutkah kita??
