Modern architecture is my favorite kind of style. To me it looks some what futuristic, and today's building will literally stop you in your tracks. This building is the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Middle East. The structure stands 2,717 feet or 828 meters. It began construction on September 21, 2004 and it officialy opened on January 4, 2010. Now this building is obviously modern and it's the most unique building I have ever seen!
The total cost for the project was about $1.5 billion US dollars. Now that's a hole in your pocket! It can also hold about 35,000 people at one time. For the construction, they had to use 431,600 cubic yards of concrete and about 22 million man-hours. The building's triple lobed-shape was inspired by the Hymenocallis flower. This is an awesome piece of architecture!
