Anglo-Iraqi architect AMBS has unveiled a design for what would be the tallest building in the world in the city of Basra.
If built, the 230-storey, 1,152m tall “Bride Tower” would be located in Basra and would be made up of four buildings joined together. These would contain a “vertical city” consisting of a million and a half square metres of offices, hotels, shops and apartments, as well as parks and gardens.
A facade described as a “veil” would cover the exterior of the structure and provide shade to surrounding buildings; it would be topped with a 188m-high antenna and would even have its own railway.
