Saudi Arabia is building another architectural marvel, the Mukaab, a massive cube-shaped skyscraper in Riyadh. The Mukaab will stand 400 meters (1,312 feet) tall, wide, and long, making it large enough to fit 20 Empire State Buildings inside, according to the Saudi Public Investment Fund. Bloomberg also reports it will be the world’s largest building. The Mukaab will be the centerpiece of the New Murabba district, with a design inspired by traditional Islamic architecture and 2 million square meters of interior space. Inside, a large twisting tower will rise, and holographic technology will create underwater and otherworldly scenes. Excavation is almost complete, with 10 million cubic meters [roughly 350 million cubic ft] of earth already moved using 250 excavators and 400 pieces of equipment. Completion is expected by 2030. #saudiarabia #TheMukaab #NewMurabba #Bloomberg #Riyadh #skyscraper #building #architecture #construction

I proud to participating and supporting the great progress of this mixed-use mega project. Pace | Architecture, Engineering + Planning

1 million people, in a single building shaped like a giant pyramid the size of a mountain: monstrous or amazing? In 2008, plans were shown for a mega-pyramid - called the Ziggurat - with the intention of starting construction in 2021 and completing it by 2028. As of today, construction hasn't started yet but... who knows! Its design was inspired by the pyramids of the Egyptians and Mayans, however, enlarged to a truly gigantic scale. The Ziggurat Pyramid will be taller than the Burj Khalifa and the Downtown Circle, and is expected to reach a whopping 1,500 meters in height. It is said to be designed to measure a whopping 2.3 square kilometers and hold a capacity of up to one million people! Not only that, but the facility is designed to be zero carbon, totally self-sufficient and powered entirely by solar panels, wind and natural sources. The pyramid is also designed to have its own public transportation system that will run not only horizontally across the building but also up and down, eliminating the need for cars. The enormous building would have 300 floors, with residential, commercial and recreational spaces. The megaproject was conceived by Timelinks, a Dubai-based group of urban planners, scientists and architectural designers. What do you think? Monstrous or exciting? One thing is for sure, it would be, by far, the most impressive piece of engineering ever! #urbanism #city #world #engineering For more: 📌 Follow #ImpressiveEngineering 📌 Click on the 🔔

The Ziggurat Pyramid is an exciting but challenging project. Managing its scale, complexity, and innovative features would require top-notch project management. It's an ambitious endeavor that demands careful planning and execution. #awp #leanconstruction #workfaceplanning #advancedworkpackaging #constructionmanagement

The Skyscraper Race Saudi Arabia is planning to build a two-kilometer-high skyscraper on a site north of the capital city of Riyadh. If completed, it will be the world’s highest building. According to architecture and design magazine Dezeen, UK studio Foster + Partners is the primary architecture firm on the proposal. As it stands, the Burj Khalifa is the tallest building worldwide at 828 meters (2,717ft). Based in Dubai, the UAE, the 163-stored building was completed in 2010. In second place comes the Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at 679 m (2,227 ft), followed by the Shanghai Tower in Shanghai, China at 632 m (2,073 ft). When it comes to the world’s highest buildings, data from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat shows that Asia and the Middle East are winning the race to the skies. Out of this roundup, only one skyscraper, the One World Trade Center in New York City, is located outside of these two regions. China is particularly well represented, as it is home to five of the top 10 tallest buildings. According to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat database, the Burj Khalifa would be trumped by the proposed Burj Mubarak Al Kabir, which is planned to be built in Kuwait City, with a height of 1,001 m (3,284 ft) and 234 floors. The completion date is not published yet. #skycraper #building #tallestbuilding #worldwide #race source : statista

The Mukaab project is set to become the world’s largest building by 2030. This monumental structure represents a fusion of advanced engineering, innovative design, and sustainable development. Here are some key highlights of this ambitious endeavor: ✔️ Unprecedented Scale: The Mukaab will stand 400 meters tall, with each side of the cube also measuring 400 meters, making it the largest single-built structure globally. This project pushes the boundaries of architectural and engineering possibilities. ✔️ Vast Interior Space: Encompassing around 2 million square meters of interior floor space, The Mukaab will house residential units, commercial spaces, cultural venues, and more, creating a vibrant, self-sustaining urban environment. ✔️ Innovative Design: The building will feature modern Najdi architectural elements, integrated with cutting-edge technologies such as immersive digital and holographic experiences, setting a new standard for urban living. ✔️ New Murabba Development: As the centerpiece of the New Murabba development in Riyadh, The Mukaab will be part of a larger vision to create a new downtown area, including over 100,000 homes, extensive commercial and office spaces, hotels, cultural venues, and educational institutions. ✔️ Vision 2030 Alignment: This project is a key component of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative, aimed at diversifying the economy and reducing reliance on oil. The Mukaab symbolizes progress and innovation, aligning with the nation’s forward-looking goals. ✔️ Construction Milestones: With excavation work 86% complete and over 10 million cubic meters of earth moved, the project has already logged over 3 million safe work hours, underscoring our commitment to safety and efficiency. ✔️ Sustainability Focus: The Mukaab emphasizes sustainability and efficient resource utilization, aiming to positively impact local infrastructure and set new benchmarks for environmentally conscious construction. #MukaabProject #mukaab #sustainableDevelopment #Innovative #Design #EngineeringExcellence #saudi
