Dubai tower to be world's tallest building

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- For now, the world's tallest building-to-be is just a flower-shaped concrete tattoo on the desert sands, but its pilings are already in place, plunging 160 feet into the earth. When it's finished, visitors will swoon over this city from 123 stories high, if not more...

What a fine piece of architecture, I've visited the Sears Tower and the World Trade Center and those were impressive to say the least. I look forward to seeing this one once complete.
