The chief structural engineer behind Dubai’s Burj Khalifa believes skyscrapers could one day reach heights of several kilometres with current and future technologies. Bill Baker, the engineer who helped design the world’s tallest building, says the biggest challenges are no longer about engineering limits but about practicality, cost, sustainability, and human experience. His comments come as Saudi Arabia advances the Jeddah Tower project, expected to surpass one kilometre in height. Baker highlights that future mega-tall buildings will focus on efficient designs, reducing carbon impact, and creating meaningful value for cities beyond just breaking height records. #BurjKhalifa #Skyscrapers #Dubai #FutureArchitecture #JeddahTower #Innovation

Beyond Jeddah Tower: Engineers are already designing buildings twice as tall The key question remains - Why? What for? One may understand construction of tall buildings in Singapore and Hong Kong, where land is dramatically scarce. But the population density of Saudi Arabia is about 16 people for sq.km (7,027 people for HK and 8,437 for Singapore). Still, in the Kingdom engineers have already submitted confidential designs for skyscrapers approaching 2,000 metres. Some bad news for occupants of higher floors - they would have to use elevator transfer decks - and change elevators several times to get to their destinations. #jeddahtower #saudiarabia #engineering #construction #skyscrapper #petroraq

High-rise towers in Saudi Arabia are merely an ego statement and not a result of pressure on developable land availability. The single biggest limitation is vertical transportation and the limitations of lift cables as steel or carbon fibre … the sheer weight and length of “cables” has a direct correlation to a lift run. Several sky-lobby transfer floors are configured between hotel, office and residential floors typically every 40 floors or so. Pressure to keep the service core as efficient as possible means using multiple “shuttle” lift cars in each shaft.
