and water falls on the building.
Palm
Island
An
ambitious project, world’s largest man-made artificial property, Palm Island is
indeed one of the wonders of the world. As name suggests, structure of the
island resembles shape of a palm-tree.
Palm
island is not only an architectural marvel but also a very thought-out project
for expanding landmass of Dubai. The artificial island expanded coastline of
Dubai by 520 kilometers.

Burj

about it. Let’s give you some of the amazing feats of Burj Khalifa here:
Ø Burj Khalifa stands as tallest building in the world
with height of 828 meters.

buildings.

124

luxurious 900 residences, office suites and ultra-luxurious Armani Hotel.

celebrities and other important occasions on outer structure of Burj Khalifa
through illuminating LEDs and fire-works.
Recently,
a Bollywood movie made a song on the Burj Khalifa starring Akshay Kumar and
Kiara Advani.
Dubai
Marina
Dubai
Marina is the ultimate example of modern town-planning and optimum utilization
of available resources. This marina is the largest man-made structure in the
world. Purpose of the project is to bring water from Persian Gulf for 3 kms
area to make a residential society and walkway.
Dubai Marina is a canal city for about 120,000 residential towers and villas on a
pedestrian friendly urban settlement.
This
structure gives shelter for hundreds of yachts, space for bars, cafes,
restaurants. You will also find seven kms long walkway along the Marina.
Dubai
Marina has been inspired by Concord Pacific Place along False Creek in
Vancouver. You can find it on interchange 5 between Jebel Ali port and area
which contains Dubai Media City, American University in Dubai and Internet
City.
Cayan
Tower
Another
first in the long list of modern structures in Dubai, Cayan Tower earlier known
as Infinity tower stands with an angle of 90 degrees and among the tallest
high-rises in the world.
This
is amazing for several reasons. The whole structure is tilted by 90 degrees, it
does not have any pillars anywhere, tourists can view marvelous waterfronts
from this elevation.
This
90-degree design has been achieved by rotating each floor by 1.2 degrees around
a cylindrical elevator and service core.
The
Cayan Tower has been designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill SOM Architectural
Group. They had also provided concept design for Burj Khalifa.
