Smart Skyscrapers Summit 2014

Smart Skyscrapers Summit 2014 will be held on 28 & 29 April 2014 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Increased urbanization and rapid population growth have created a need to build tall, and with this a new set of design and construction challenges. These immense structures must support their weight, resist wind, earthquakes and fire, balance energy efficiency and cost yet also be conveniently accessible for occupants, providing utilities, and a comfortable living environment. Smart Skyscrapers Summit 2014 will see presentations and case studies from local and international thought-leaders, a showcase of the most innovative building technologies and solutions from around the world and offer high-level networking opportunities. Attracting around 300 senior architects, engineers, policy-makers, developers, contractors and building managers from across the GCC region, this must-attend event will offer a unique platform for the networking and knowledge sharing required to develop world-class skyscrapers in the Middle East. http://www.smartskyscrapers.com/
