The world is a beautiful place in more ways than one. Amongst the urban landscape and thousands of ordinary brick-and-mortar buildings, skyscrapers are architectural and engineering marvels that rise hundreds of meters and even a thousand feet into the air. The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), is the official body that determines which buildings fall under the ‘The World’s Tallest Building’ category. It ranks the height of buildings, based on the height to the architectural top of the building, highest occupied floor, top of the roof or the tip of the building.

    The amazing combination of beauty and architecture. Will be great to see the rest of the world down from the top of any of them!

    I find them arrogant, a projection of man's wishful thinking with regard to his male attributes. I find them unnatural, I've always disliked very tall buildings and sky-scrapers, and 9/11 confirmed my uneasy feelings about them. Sure, they are marvels of engineering and architecture, but in my opinion, it is engineering and architecture serving only man's ego.

    It does sort of scream "LOOK AT ME".

    I hope they are in an earth quake free zone.

    These are the kinds of ambitious project we SHOULD have to worry about... not global warming, human overpopulation, starvation, and basic needs.

    ^ totally agree with vierotchka.
    we as a species are so tuned to our expansive male explosive energy that we miss the subtle beauty so often and are bound to certain ways of thinking.

    it is still pretty amazing what inginuity we have and what powers of creation. just think what we could do if we tuned to other ideas....?

    Having lived in a major US city, I am not fond of skyscrapers. In almost every instance the skyscraper is financed by a major corporate tenant; thus --'downtown areas' of major cities become corporate office parks. There is no interesting mix of people at street level ...just concrete and steel. In Houston, the shops have moved to suburban malls, even the downtown restaurants have gone underground. The street level is like rows of huge tomb stones. Modern skyscrapers coulpled with the flight to suburbia have literally KILLED off the American city.
