UK studio Foster + Partners is reportedly designing a two-kilometre-high skyscraper in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which if completed would be the world’s tallest building.
According to a report in UK architecture magazine Architects’ Journal (AJ), the UK studio is designing the megatall skyscraper for a site to the north of the Saudi capital.
The AJ reports that the skyscraper will be located near the city’s international airport, which is currently being redeveloped by Foster + Partners.
If built, the skyscraper would become the world’s tallest building, being over twice the height of the current record holder, the 828-metre-high Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The building would become the tallest building in Saudi Arabia, overtaking the 600-metre-high Abraj Al Bait Royal Clock Tower in Mecca.
Foster + Partners has been approached for comment.
