Place: Research & Innovation Centre, 0915.

Presenters: Abdulqader Al Hashime & Abdulaziz Saeed
Topic: Burj Khalifa



I started the presentation by introducing the topic and the content we were going to present. Our presentation was divided into two parts; I started by giving  general information about Burj Khalifa, that it is located in Dubai, considered the highest building built by humans and other information about Burj Khalifa. Then I shifted to the construction of the skyscraper; I mentioned that the work began in January 2004 and the total cost amounted to $ 1.5 billion. Then I showed them pictures for the stages of the construction from 2006-2008.
Abdulaziz continued the second part of the presentation; he started to compare the Burj Khalifa with the other skyscrapers. He also mentioned the inspiration behind the design. Then he talked about the numbers of the Burj like how many floors, elevators , what is the total number of the apartments and from which distance we can see Burj Khalifa. Finally, Abdulaziz talked about Burj Khalifa’s high records (2nd highest swimming pool, highest restaurant and the world’s highest elevator installation), then he asked for questions.
