The Design-History

The design of Burj Khalifa is derived from patterning systems embodied

in Islamic architecture The Y-shaped plan is ideal for residential and hotel usage, with the

wings allowing maximum outward views and inward natural light

The design architect, Adrian Smith, has said the triple-lobed footprint

(base) of the building was inspired by the flowerHymenocallis!!

During the design process, engineers rotated the building 120 degreesfrom its original layout to reduce stress from strong winds since it is very

tall!
