World's Tallest Building Burj Khalifa Opens in Dubai with Fireworks, Water and Light Show



Burj Khalifa (aka "Burj Dubai"), world's tallest building ever opened on Monday to fireworks, water and light show. The 828m skyscraper was designed in Chicago by SOM (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill)

See above for the full opening ceremony and see below for a view from the top of the spire a few days earlier.

Let's hope the Burj will inspire future creative skyscraper design and skyline innovations around the world.
