The Bride Tower Iraq-1,152 meter tall-230 story- Beat the Kingdom Tower and Dubai's Burj Khalifa
AMBS Architects has proposed a 1,152-metre-tall skyscraper for Iraq's Basra Province, which would surpass Jeddah's Kingdom Tower and Dubai's Burj Khalifa to become the tallest building in the world
Composed of four conjoined towers, The Bride tower's 230 storeys would be topped by an 188-metre-tall antenna.
This would make the structure 152 metres higher than the planned height of the Kingdom Tower, designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture and currently under construction in the Saudi Arabian city.
The world's tallest building title is currently held by Dubai's 830-metre Burj Khalifa skyscraper, also designed by Smith and Gill while working at US firm SOM.
AMBS Architects' Bride tower would be surrounded by a glazed canopy on its south facade, referred to as a "veil" and designed to offer shade to the complex's low-rise buildings and public areas.
Basra is located in the south of Iraq, and is a rapidly growing business centre. The building takes its name from the local area: the Bride of the Gulf.
The structure's three other towers would measure 724 metres, 484 metres and 61 metres respectively.
The Bride is designed to house offices, hotels, residential areas, commercial centres, parks and gardens, and even its own rail network across the 1,550,908 square metres of floor space.
Breaking the 600-metre height mark, the tower would fall into the category of "mega tall". Towers over 300 metres are known as "super tall".
