The Opus, Mixed-use architectural complex in Business Bay, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The Opus is a cube-shaped structure with a fluid central void, rising 305 feet (93 meters) across 20 floors, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and completed in 2020.

Construction of The Opus took place between 2012 and 2020, marking the only project where Zaha Hadid designed both the building's exterior and the interior of its hotel.

The Opus reflects Dubai's commitment to architectural innovation and serves as a landmark for the city's reputation as a global center for modern design and luxury development.

Located on Al Amal Street in Business Bay, The Opus is accessible via Dubai's metro system and nearby road networks, with ample dining and retail options in the surrounding area.

Two towers merge into a single cube form with an eroded center void, connected by a 124-foot (38-meter) asymmetric bridge positioned 233 feet (71 meters) above ground level.

The most impressive constructions in the world

This collection brings together some of the most technically ambitious structures ever built, from record-breaking skyscrapers and suspension bridges to high-speed roller coasters that push the boundaries of what steel and concrete can achieve. These sites span continents and represent decades of engineering progress, offering visitors a chance to experience human innovation at heights and speeds that were once impossible. Whether you're standing on the observation deck of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, walking across the glass floor panels of the CN Tower in Toronto, or racing through the launch sequence of Kingda Ka in New Jersey, each structure tells a story of technical ambition and problem-solving. The collection includes landmarks like the 324-meter Eiffel Tower in Paris, completed for the 1889 World Exhibition, and modern marvels such as Tokyo Skytree, which rises 634 meters above the city. You'll find the Millau Viaduct spanning the Tarn River valley in France at a height of 336 meters (1,100 feet), the tilted medieval bell tower in Pisa leaning at a 3.97-degree angle, and Russia's SkyBridge suspended between mountain peaks at 2,320 meters (7,600 feet) elevation. These places attract millions of visitors each year, offering not just views and thrills but a firsthand understanding of what modern engineering can accomplish when designers set out to build something exceptional.
