Website  www.burj-khalifa.eu will start for internet users in context with oppenning of highest skyscraper in the world Burj Khalifa in January 2009.

Burj Khalifa. Architecture and design

According to Marshall Strabala, an SOM architect who worked on the building’s design team, Burj Dubai was designed based on the 73-floor “Tower Palace Three”, an all-residential building in Seou, South Korea. In its early planning, Burj Khalifa was intended to be entirely residential.

Emaar Properties has also engaged GHD,an international multidisciplinary consulting firm, to assist with the design, review and assessment involved in the construction process.

The design of Burj Khalifa is derived from patterning systems embodied in Islamic architecture, with the triple-lobed footprint of the building based on an abstracted version of the flower Hymenocallis. The tower is composed of three elements arranged around a central core. As the tower rises from the flat desert base, setbacks occur at each element in an upward spiralling pattern, decreasing the cross section of the tower as it reaches toward the sky. At the top, the central core emerges and is sculpted to form a finishing spire. A Y-shaped floor plan maximizes views of the Persian Gulf. Viewed from above or from the base, the form also evokes the onion domes of Islamic architecture. During the design process, engineers rotated the building 120 degrees from its original layout to reduce stress from prevailing winds. At its tallest point, the tower sways a total of 1.2 m (3.9 ft).

The exterior cladding of Burj Khalifa will consist of 142,000 m² (1,528,000 sq ft) of reflective glazing, and aluminium and textured stainless steel spandrel panels with vertical tubular fins. The cladding system is designed to withstand Dubai’s extreme summer temperatures. Additionally, at its projected height the exterior temperature at the top of the building will be 6 °C (11 °F) cooler than at its base.

The interior will be decorated by Giorgio Armani. An Armani Hotel, the first of four by Armani, will occupy the lower 37 floors. Floors 45 through 108 will have 700 private apartments on 64 floors (which, according to the developer, sold out within eight hours of being on the market). An outdoor zero-entry swimming pool will be located on the 78th floor of the tower. Corporate offices and suites will fill most of the remaining floors, except for a 123rd floor lobby and 124th floor (about 440 m (1,444 ft)) indoor/outdoor observation deck. The spire, itself over 200 m (700 ft) tall, will hold communications equipment.

It will also feature the world’s fastest elevator, rising and descending at 18 m/s (59 ft/s). The world’s current fastest elevator (in Taipei 101) travels at 16.83 m/s (55.2 ft/s). Engineers had considered installing the world’s first triple-deck elevators, but the final design calls for double-deck elevators. A total of 56 elevators will be installed that can each carry 42 people at a time.

The opening ceremony of Burj Khalifa was held on 4 January 2010. The ceremony featured a display of 10,000 fireworks, light beams projected on and around the tower, and further sound, light and water effects. Using the 868 powerful stroboscope lights that are integrated into the facade and spire of the tower, different lighting sequences were choreographed, together with more than 50 different combinations of the other effects.

The event began with a short film which depicted the story of Dubai and the evolution of Burj Khalifa. The displays of sound, light, water and fireworks followed. The portion of the show consisting of the various pyrotechnic, lighting, water and sound effects was divided into three. The first part was primarily a light and sound show, which took as its theme the link between desert flowers and the new tower, and was co-ordinated with the Dubai Fountain and pyrotechnics. The second portion, called ‘Heart Beat’, represented the construction of the tower in a dynamic light show with the help of 300 projectors which generated a shadow-like image of the tower. In the third act, sky tracers and space cannons enveloped the tower in a halo of white light, which expanded as the lighting rig on the spire activated.

The ceremony was relayed live on a giant screen on Burj Park Island, as well as several television screens placed across the Downtown Burj Khalifa development. Hundreds of media outlets from around the world reported live from the scene. In addition to the media presence, 6,000 guests were expected.

Hamachi is software for creation of your own virtual network within the internet (VPN) and when someone connects with you in such virtual net, your two computers behave, as if you were sitting in one room connected by a network cable, which brings significant advantages when e.g. connecting several PCs. After the installation you get a kind of a virtual driver, which creates new connection to the local network.

THE EXPENDABLES long surpassed that point where it became every, 80s geek boy’s dream. Once Stallone signed up stars like Dolph and Mickey Rourke to flex muscles next to Jason Satham, Jet Li, and even “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, it became one of those dream projects that you keep checking in on just to make sure everything’s all right. To that, it became like a nervous babysitter checking on the kids too many times, because those kids are just so damned precious.

The rumors began a few months back, and it seemed like one more “too good to be true” moments. However, it was confirmed yesterday via the film’s official blog that Stallone,Schwarzenegger, and Bruce Willis had shot a scene for the film over the weekend. Now, before you get your action-lover’s appetite too built up, this scene doesn’t sound like it’s filled with things that go boom. Instead, it’s a simple scene set at a church that sets up the whole movie.

Who knows, if THE EXPENDABLES becomes this massive, runaway train hit that a lot of us are expecting, this holy trinity of action stars could come back together for a full-blown, ass-kicking feature film.

Terminator Salvation is a 2009 American science fiction film, the fourth installment in the Terminator series, directed by McG, and starring Christian Bale as future Resistance leader John Connor and Sam Worthington as cyborg Marcus Wright. The film also introduces a young Kyle Reese from the original 1984 film, played by Anton Yelchin, as well as depicting the origin of the T-800 Model 101 Terminator. Terminator Salvation, set in 2018, focuses on the war between humanity and Skynet – a departure from the previous installments, which were set on the present day and featured time travl.

After a troubled pre-production, with The Halcyon Company acquiring the rights for the franchise from Andrew G. Vajna and Mario Kassar and several writers working on the screenplay, filming began in May 2008 in New Mexico and ran for 77 days. The film is currently the most expensive independent production in history, with a budget of $200 million. Terminator Salvation was released on May 21, 2009 in the United States and Canada, followed by early June releases in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The film was met with mostly negative critical reviews, and failed to meet initial financial expectations, grossing just under $43 million in its opening weekend. Its final worldwide gross is $371 million. After the movie’s release, The Halcyon Company filed for bankruptcy and are currently selling the rights to the movie franchise to the highest bidder.

According to The Financial Times, Halcyon, the production company that made Terminator: Salvation, will auction off their screen rights to the Terminator film franchise this month. TFT notes the following…

” Halcyon will test Hollywood intellectual property valuations at a time when film industry profits are under pressure from falling DVD sales.”

As of now, Sony is the leading candidate to purchase the rights, while Summit Entertainment (the studio behind Twilight), and Platinum Equity are all interested. The deal would include the rights to Terminator: Salvation as well as a possible Terminator 5 film, but none of the Schwarzenegger Terminator films.
