World Tallest Building

'Kingdom Tower will be the tallest building in the world at over 1,000 meters. Its shape tapers upward from a three-legged footprint, with each leg terminating at different heights. The design of the silhouette took both practical and aesthetic considerations into account. We wanted to reduce the sail area at the top of the building to reduce wind load, and we also wanted the massing at the top to be asymmetrical in order to assist in the shedding of wind vortexes, thereby reducing the acceleration of the movement of the tower.'
