Jeddah Tower

Jeddah Tower explores the ambitious undertaking of constructing what is slated to be the world's tallest skyscraper. It examines the architectural and technological innovations required to reach unprecedented heights, delving into engineering solutions for wind resistance and foundation stability. The book also considers the tower's role as a symbol of modern Saudi Arabia and its broader impact on urban development.

The book analyzes the evolution of skyscraper construction, exploring advanced materials like high-strength concrete and steel. It investigates how sustainable building practices are integrated into the design, aiming to balance ambition with environmental responsibility.

The text progresses logically, starting with the initial designs and engineering challenges, then moving through soil mechanics, aerodynamic solutions, and construction methods, and finally culminating in an analysis of the tower's economic significance.

What sets this book apart is its integration of technical expertise with a comprehensive overview of the project’s broader context. By presenting detailed engineering reports, architectural plans, and interviews with key individuals, Jeddah Tower offers valuable insights for architects, engineers, urban planners, and anyone fascinated by the complexities of modern megaprojects.
