The tallest lighthouse in the world, according to World Lighthouse Society, is the 101 m or 331 ft Marine Tower in Yokohama, Japan. It is believed that the tallest lighthouse ever in history was the Pharos, or Lighthouse of Alexandria, which was said to be 140 m or 459 ft high. The highest lighthouse in the world is a different matter. According to the El Dorado County (California) Visitors Authority website: The lighthouse at Sugar Pine Point on Lake Tahoe is the highest lighthouse, in elevation, in the world. It is located between Tahoma and Meeks Bay and stands at an elevation of 6,229 ft, 1,898 m.

The Eiffel Tower was built for the World's Fair. Its construction started in 1887 and was finished in 1889. As of 2014, it would be 125 years since the Eiffel Tower was completed. The Eiffel Tower is 1063 feet in height.

The design of the Burj Dubai Tower is derived from geometries of the desert flower, which is indigenous to the region, and the patterning systems embodied in Islamic architecture.

The tower massing is organized around a central core with three wings. Each wing consists of four bays. At every seventh floor, one outer bay peels away as the structure spirals into the sky. Unlike many super-highrise buildings with deep floor plates, **the Y-shape floor plans of Burj Dubai maximize views and provide tenants with plenty of natural light and it helps to reduce the impact of wind on the tower**.

As each tier of the building steps back in a spiral pattern up the building. This deflects the wind around the structure and prevents it from forming organized whirlpools of air current that would cause the tower to sway or damage the building.

Some sources say the Lighthouse of Alexandria was built with granite and limestone blocks. In 1994, divers found chunks of limestone underwater that they believed to be from the lighthouse, so most likely it WAS built with limestone. However, no one can be sure.

Early lighthouses (prior to electricity) were made to revolve via a mechanism similar to that of a grandfather clock. The chain necessary to turn the mechanism was quite long. The building needed to be quite tall to accommodate that chain. Each day, the lighthouse keeper would take weights to the top of the chain an attach them to keep the light turning. The heighth of the building had nothing to do with visibility seaward. Even those on high bluffs had to be tall for the above reason.

Its the tallest building in the world.

The tallest building is built just this year, 2009, Burj Dubai located at United Arab Emirates, Dubai. It has a height of 818m or equivalent to 2,684ft.
