The skyscraper, upon completion, will beat out the Burj Khalifa for bragging rights as being the [world's tallest building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-park-lane) and is set to stand 33 feet higher than the current world leader. It will also be completed in a twentieth of the time that it took to finish the Burj Khalifa, lending itself to rake in another record breaking feat. The secret to its speedy construction, according to the builders, is the use of prefabrication, as approximately 95 per cent of the building will be constructed in modular form on the ground before the structure is eradicated. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Prefabricated Construction:** The use of prefabrication in construction allows for speedy and efficient building processes. - **Record-breaking Skyscrapers:** The demand for taller and faster constructed skyscrapers is driving innovations in the architectural industry. - **Efficient Construction Techniques:** Developing new and more efficient construction techniques can drastically reduce building time and costs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Construction:** The construction industry can embrace prefabrication and develop new techniques to revolutionize building processes. - **Architecture:** Architects can explore new possibilities for designing and constructing record-breaking skyscrapers. - **Modular Building:** The modular building industry can benefit from the increased demand for prefabricated construction in skyscraper projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cube-Shaped Skyscraper Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mukaab.md) - [Ski Resort Crystalline Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojena-ski-resort.md) - [Glass Facade Premium Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henderson-office.md) - [Staggered Tower Texan Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1550-on-the-green.md) - [Eco-Conscious Slim Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muraba-veil.md) - [Rain-Collecting Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bpas-architects.md) - [Expansive NYC Tower Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supertall-skyscraper-1.md) - [Thrill Ride-Topped Ultra-High Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-torch.md) - [Highway-Side Narrow Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muraba-veil-skyscraper.md)
