Holy Tall Building, Batman!

The Burj Khalifa opened today as the official "World's Tallest Building" at 2,717 feet in height (828 meters). As one with an architecture degree and an interest in urbanism and skyscrapers, this one is just fantastic. But here's where it gets sick--check out the scale comparison with the other tallest opened buildings and structures in the world:

Yes, it is amazing...and it will be the first time that the highest building has homes where you can live.

Oh and the Japanese and their project of the X-Seed 4000 (13,123.2 feet) who knows...

And one day, dynamic architecture!
