LEGO Architecture Burj Khalifa, Инструкция по сборке, Страница: 10 / 36

With the design and engineering of Burj Khalifa, Skidmore,
Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM), joined forces with Dubai based
developers, Emaar Properties PJSC, to redefine what was
possible with supertall buildings.
With a portfolio that includes some of the most
important architectural accomplishments of the 20th and
21st centuries, including the John Hancock Center and Willis
(formerly Sears) Tower, SOM was perfectly placed to carry
out this challenging task.
To create Burj Khalifa — a building that shatters all
previous height records at 828 meters (2,716.5 feet) — a team of
more than 90 designers and engineers combined cutting edge
technology and culturally-influenced design to create a
global icon that will serve as a model for future urban centers.
