World's tallest building to be built on Karachi island: Musharraf

[kingkobra]

indeed burj Khalifa's top roof is 621m, and the structure height is 828m, so the spire is around 207m, however it has 46 maintenance levels in the spire which occupies from 621m to 750m..

and when you look at the Indian tower, the spire is roughly 1/4 of the 720m building which comes around 180m, and its just a concrete skeleton nothing more than that`

how do you know there are no so called maintenance levels in india tower??

 

[rcrmj]

And you can tell all that just by looking at a render? Bet you knew about the features of the spire in Burj Khalifa as well just by looking at its renders


Stop being so biased.

what are you talking about, please skyscraperpage.com and skyscraperlife.com, to have a look, there are the best ones out there at the moment

I have. Besides your point of the spire being 1/4th of the total height, is same for Burj Khalifa as well as India tower.

You can't tell anything from a render! Show me the compartments in this render please!

Also you really think they are just going to pile up concrete in the shape of the spire to make it?

it is writen on the description, 46 maintenance compartments in the spire section of Kurj Khalifa`and the top roof height is 630m`and in terms of category, there is structrual height, top roof height, and spire height``and the spire heigh is mostly used to determine the height of a building.

and the reason India tower has 180m concrete tip is still unknow``whether it has any functional value to the building or something else`

I know its written! But would you be able to tell that the spire in Burj Khalifa has/ doesn't have maintenance chambers just by looking at the render, like you did in the case of India tower?

and the reason India tower has 180m concrete tip is still unknow``whether it has any functional value to the building or something else`

No architect is stupid enough to have a giant as 200 m concrete spire with no functionality. So lets not start doubting on the basis of not much else but bias. Hope this helps

When nature gets furious...nothing on earth can stand against it...

remember power of nature's elements...air, water, fire & not to forget eathquakes...structures would fall as if they never existed.

Thats why you build according to seismic zone you are located in.

Basic infrastructure wins any day over some tall building! We should stop acting like some oil rich arab country or 1st world European country. First build a basic infrastructure, sort out your electricity deficit. Then come to fancier showing off stuff like this.

The Europeans are not into these ugly high heaps of concrete and glass. They love their old Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque architecture and those who have been to the sparsely populated Western and Southern European cities and towns admire their aesthetic sense. Who will prefer to live in Hongkong, Dubai or Shanghai than Vienna, Florence or Munich.

India tower will be finished earlier than all the other proposed supertalls. So at 720m, officially it will be second tallest building for couple of years

And not to forget the worlds tallest residential building(117 floors) also being constructed in Mumbai

the project is halted construction is stopped on the orders of Court ,if it was going to be the 2nd tallest structure than there must be huge discussion going on about this indian tower all over internet ..


soory too say rite now UAE is going to have world's tallest residential building with Pentominium name 516 m height and 122 floors and second tallest residential building will also be in UAE DAMAC Heights 420 m Will become second tallest residential building in the world after Pentominium.

Thats why you build according to seismic zone you are located in.

Even though ahsan said it in a very dramatic way, he does have a valid point pal. No matter what you do, you can not compete with the forces of the nature. The latest Nuclear disaster in Japan is just another example of it. We can plan to the extend of the knowledge and resources we have at our disposal but only time cal tell if that'll be enough.
