These stunning images show the tower set to become the world’s tallest building.It was designed by Spanish architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava and due for completion in 2020 when the country hosts Expo2020.The Dubai Observation Tower will be built in the Dubai Creek Harbour area, United Arab Emirates by Emaar Properties.It will consist of private apartments, hotel , leisure and tourist facilities plus, of course, shops.The mega tower will be taller than the world's current highest building, the Burj Khalifa, also in Dubai.The new building is said to draw some inspiration from the traditional Islamic minaret and the lily plant, and takes the overall form of a dart, rising to a fine point at its top.The structure will feature an elongated oval-shaped bud toward its top comprising ten observation decks , three of which will be open to the public.Each deck will offer 360 degree views of Dubai to those with a head for heights.The tower will be supported by a network of cables anchored into the ground.Two VIP observation decks will be decorated in greenery in an attempt to recreate something of the experience of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The tower will also sport rotating balconies and numerous event spaces. Its ground-level will feature retail spaces, education facilities and an auditorium. The design will be finalised following elaborate wind tunnel testing and all mandatory seismic testing. Every aspect of The Tower is designed and being developed to the highest international standards of safety – from the choice of materials to the technology being used. Celebrating the iconic status of The Tower, the lighting will emphasise the ‘flower bud’ design as a floating element at the top of the structure, serving as a beacon of light at night.The structural core and tension cables will be gently and dynamically illuminated.
