World's Tallest, SOM Style
The Chicago Tribune reports that Adrian Smith of SOM is making another bid at designing the world's tallest building, this time in the United Arab Emerates. At over 2,000 feet (unofficially 2,313 ft. according to The Guardian), Burj Dubai, due for completion in 2008, would be over 600 feet taller than Taipei 101, the current record holder.

Frank Lloyd Wright must be grinning in his grave!
I wish I could see that building myself.
