A local may have wanted the tallest building in the world, but it was planned and designed by Adrian Smith.

There is a force within the human spirit that motivates some people to climb Mt. Everest ( or very high mountains ) “because it’s there”. A similar motivation occurs to build very tall towers and buildings “because we can”. The Burj Kalifa is wondrous visually and architecturally -despite its flaws and imperfect, troubled history.
