Design concept
The design of the Khalifa tower is Islamic architectural style. The floor is in the shape of "Y", and it is gradually connected into a core body by three architectural parts. Rising from the desert, the spiral pattern above reduces the section of the building, making it more straight to the sky. To the top, the central core gradually turns into a minaret, and the Y-shaped floor also makes the Khalifa tower have a larger view
