  The design of Burj Khalifa is derived from patterning systems embodied in Islamic 

architecture. According to the structural engineer, Bill Baker of SOM, the building's 

design incorporates cultural and historical elements particular to the region.

  The building started to construct in September 2004, and was completed in October 

2009. And now days, the building is the tallest construction in the world.
