During my international business project last semester, when I should have been researching cultural, financial, and political features of the United Arab Emirates, I was busy studying the country's ground breaking advances in architecture.
The only thing I knew about the UAE before the project was that the worlds tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, was located there.
I had also previously known about "The World" development, but didn't realized that it was located in the UAE!
Both "The World" and the Burj Khalifa are located in Dubai. I recently came across this development (nearing completion) in the second richest emirate, Abu Dhabi:
Capital Gate, leans 18 degrees westward, 14 degrees further than the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Watch the video to see how the heck they managed building it!
