Kuwait’s Al Hamra Tower - The World’s First Sculptured Skyscraper

Kuwait’s Al Hamra Tower is the world’s first (and tallest) “Sculputred” Skyscraper. It will soar about 412M (1350 Feet) up to make it Kuwait’s tallest tower. The project was designed by Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, and is being constructed by Turner Construction. The building encompasses 77 stories at a cost of roughly $400M to build and is estimated to be delivered Q1 of 2010.

Most skyscrapers are built symmetrically, that is everything is equidistant off the core, but the Al Hamra project, as can be seen from the picture actually has two walls which vary in distance off the core .
