The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world, towering 2,717 feet (828m) into the sky of Dubai, UAE. The design of the 163-floor structure is an abstraction of the Hymenocallis, a type of desert flower that has long petals extending from its center. The building has been very well received since it opened in 2010; however, its construction was very controversial as it was built primarily by workers from South Asia and East Asia who earned low wages and were housed in abysmal conditions. /// Created by @benjaminrgrant, source imagery: @digitalglobe (at Burj Khalifa)
