Modern skyscrapers often have a tubular structure, and are designed to act like a hollow cylinder to resist wind, seismic, and other lateral loads. However, skyscrapers can have curtain walls that mimic conventional walls with a small surface area of windows. Modern skyscrapers' walls are not load-bearing, and most skyscrapers are characterized by large surface areas of windows made possible by steel frames and curtain walls. Some early skyscrapers have a steel frame that enables the construction of load-bearing walls taller than of those made of reinforced concrete. These curtain walls either bear on the framework below or are suspended from the framework above, rather than resting on load-bearing walls of conventional construction. This idea was invented by Viollet le Duc in his discourses on architecture. One common feature of skyscrapers is having a steel frame that supports curtain walls. The setbacks at various heights are a typical skyscraper feature. Completed in 2009, the Burj Khalifa, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is currently the tallest building in the world, with a height of 829.8 meters (2,722 ft).
