The idea for the Burj Khalifa was conceived by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai. The project was part of a larger strategy to diversify Dubai's economy and establish it as a global city and tourism hub. The design was developed by the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, with Adrian Smith as the lead designer. The building officially opened in 2010 and has since become an iconic symbol of Dubai.

The extensive use of glass enhances the building's modern appearance and allows for natural light, creating a visually striking façade. Together, these materials enable the Burj Khalifa to withstand environmental stresses such as wind and seismic activity.
