Foreign Affairs / New World Tallest Building In Jeddah. by ladkud(m): 3:54pm On Jan 14, 2016
The city of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia has confirmed its place in modern history, as it will become the home to the next world’s tallest building. News reports out of Saudi Arabia on February 22, 2012 confirmed that the 1000m Kingdom Tower was given its final license to proceed with construction. Currently under construction, the $1.23 billion supertall Kingdom Tower will become the world’s tallest building upon its completion in 2017-2018.
When the Burj Khalifa in Dubai officially opened in a spectacular ceremony on January 4, 2010, the 2,717 foot (828 metre) tower became the tallest building in the world. An incredible feat of engineering and a marvel of technology that many expected would not be outdone for years or perhaps even decades into the future.
Although many building and design visionaries have brought forward architectural concepts to challenge the Burj Khalifa for the title of worlds tallest, no actual developments came to fruition, until now.
Late last year, Saudi Arabia’s Prince Alwaleed bin Talal announced plans to build the world’s tallest building in Jeddah less than two years after the Burj Khalifa opened in Dubai. The news was greeted with enthusiasm, but tempered with skepticism, until now.
Designed by Adrian Smith of AS+ Architecture, the Kingdom Tower consists of 161 habitable floors in a tower that will be over 1000 meters (3,280 feet) tall. The tower will have a awe inspiring total construction area of 530,000 square meters (5.7 million square feet) of interior space.
Adrian Smith is well versed in creating tall buildings. He is the same Architect that planned the Burj Khalifa in Dubai while he was with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.
The Kingdom Tower will cost approximately $1.2 billion and will be the centerpiece and first construction phase of a $20 billion Kingdom City development in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, near the Red Sea.
The new 3,280+ foot Kingdom Tower in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia is expected to take about 63 months to build and according to the Architect, Adrian Smith, will be at least 568 feet taller than the 2717 foot Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
The actual design of the new Kingdom Tower is an elegant sleek and streamlined form that is inspired by nature. Smith encapsulated the design from the evolution of young flora as new shoots spring up from the desert. “The way the fronds sprout upward from the ground as a single form, then start separating from each other at the top, is an analogy of new growth fused with technology.”
The spectacular design of the Kingdom Tower will have a top occupied floor which is more than 600 meters high and includes a unique and daring open-air sky terrace, roughly 30 meters (98 feet) in diameter with a shape that resembles a projected cantilevered dish. This will be the world’s highest outdoor amenity space at level 157 and is intended to be accessible to the penthouse floors.
The ambitious undertaking of creating the world’s tallest building will necessitate one of the worlds most sophisticated elevator systems. Plans call for 59 elevators, including 54 single-deck and five double-deck elevators. A separate dedicated elevator, which will serve the world’s highest observatory in the Kingdom Tower, is designed to travel at an astonishing rate of 10 meters (40 feet) per second in both directions.
AS+ Architecture states:
While the design is contextual to Saudi Arabia, it also represents an evolution and a refinement of an architectural continuum of skyscraper design. The three-petal footprint is ideal for residential units, and the tapering wings produce an aerodynamic shape that helps reduce structural loading due to wind vortex shedding. The Kingdom Tower design embraces its architectural pedigree, taking full advantage of the proven design strategies and technological strategies of its lineage, refining and advancing them to achieve new heights.
The result is an elegant, cost-efficient and highly constructible design that is at once grounded in built tradition and aggressively forward-looking, taking advantage of new and innovative thinking about technology, building materials, life-cycle considerations and energy conservation. For example, the project will feature a high-performance exterior wall system that will minimize energy consumption by reducing thermal loads. In addition, each of Kingdom Tower’s three sides features a series of notches that create pockets of shadow that shield areas of the building from the sun and provide outdoor terraces with stunning views of Jeddah and the Red Sea.
The Kingdom Tower development is a new vision for Saudi Arabia. There is no mistake that a city located halfway up the Red Sea coastline on the western side of the country was chosen for the tower and the massive $20 billion dollar, 23-hectare Waterfront District development surrounding it. Jeddah is the city in which industry was founded in Saudi Arabia. It is known for banking and is a powerful cultural indicator for the country. It is considered to be the most diverse, tolerant, and cosmopolitan of cities in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is looking to diversify its oil based economy and economic base with this urban development. It is not hard to surmise that the “Dubai experience” of having bragging rights to the world’s tallest building has not been lost or willfully ignored by the Saudi’s.
The Kingdom Tower is an extreme engineering feet that is no doubt designed to establish Saudi Arabia’s prominence on the architectural stage of the Arabian Peninsula away from Dubai.
With the 1000m Kingdom Tower, Saudi Arabia has raised the bar to a record height, sending a prominent message with an iconic status symbol that is designed to shift the country’s image worldwide. This is a bold step to open itself up to more business and more opportunity beyond oil.

Foreign Affairs / Re: Iran Vs Israel: Who Has The Strongest Military ? by ladkud(m): 3:50am On Dec 17, 2015
Israel and Iran are bitter enemies. They have been
so for a very long time, and will be for some time
in the near future, the two countries may engage
in a mutually destructive war. Indeed, both
countries are openly gearing up towards that end.
Iran’s arsenal is largely made up of indigenous
weapons. Although they are locally made, many,
especially its missiles and rockets, have been
tested through its Lebanese proxy, the Hezbollah.
The rockets do not have the precision of their
Western counterparts, but they are cheap; thus,
they can be produced and fired en masse making
them just as dangerous, destructive, and difficult
to intercept.
Iran’s self-sufficiency in weapons productions is
attributed to the US-initiated sanctions
prohibiting the sale of weapons and arms
technology to Iran. In order to keep up with the
arms race in the Middle East, and to ensure its
protection, Iran began to acquire weapons from
countries hostile to the West, particularly China,
Russia, and North Korea; although they also
imported some weapons from Brazil. The
trademark of Iran, however, is the creation of their
own local weapons mostly through reverse
engineering existing foreign weapons systems.
Now, Iran is considered to be one of the most
militarily dominant countries in Asia.
Of course, Israel is considered by many observers
and analysts to be more advanced and more
capable than any other Arab state in the Middle
East, including Iran. What Israel lacks in numbers
it makes up in its technological superiority.
Indeed, Israel’s weapons systems are considered
to be one of the world’s most advanced, even
attracting interest of the US, Japan, UK, Australia,
and other wealthy countries. The Iron Dome and
David’s Sling missile defense shields, for instance,
are so accurate they have been proven to destroy
95% of hostile missiles in mid-air. South Korea
and Japan has persistently showed interest in
acquiring the systems and have negotiated with
Israel for it. Israel, too, has a superior air force,
and it is even bent on acquiring the latest F-35
Joint Strike Fighter. The addition of this highly
capable aircraft will further bolster Israel’s strike
capability.
Essentially, the conflict between the two bitter
enemies is going to be a contest of numerical
superiority against technological superiority.
Should war take place, both countries are bound
to hurt each other so much no one would emerge
as the victor.
Foreign Affairs / Re: Israeli Jets Strike Targets Near Damasus Airport by ladkud(m): 3:07pm On Nov 12, 2015
Israeli claims of bombing the Syrian international airport are false. Israeli Orient news used a fake video from two years ago. https://twitter.com/ Ibra_Joudeh/status/664619025121570816 no one in Damascus say they heard anything. but why would you want to claim such a terrorist act of bombing a countries international airport duty free? Where is the UN on such criminal claims? Perhaps to take the Syrian militaries victory against ISIS in kwaires airport out of the headlines which happened hours prior to this claim. Israel is covering up ISIS' defeat.
