Bahrain could become home of the world's tallest skyscraper if a project by a Danish company named Henning Larsens Tegnestue A/S gets the nod. Company project director Louis Becker, who was in Riyadh Tuesday, intends to have a meeting about the proposed project with a building contractor in Bahrain soon, the GDN reported. The company's design for a skyscraper measures 1,022 metres - double the Taiwan Taipei 101, which is currently the world's tallest building at 506 metres.
