Synopsis of the Seminar

The quest to create iconic landmarks in Asia is creating significant opportunities for architects engineers, contractors and developers. At the same time, increasing scrutiny is being placed on the environmental credentials of such structures.

This half-day seminar will show how the sustainability of a tall building becomes an advantage. You will hear how the dream of Burj Khalifa, the world tallest building, comes true. Besides the adequacy of design in façade, structures and foundation, the latest energy technology has helped this super tall structure carved his name in building history. The sustainability of building has become a worldwide hot topic and trend that we engineers should realise. We should ponder how we contribute our part in shaping our environment to a better world for ourselves and future generations.
