What's the tallest building in your country?
Ours is One World Trade Center which stands at 1776 feet (541.3 m) tall.
(1776 is the year America gained independence)

At the roof or from the top of the spear?
Torre KOI in Monterrey
280 m
it's 1792 ft at the spire
good, no cheating.
this soviet looking hospital with its mindblowing 120m height
Tallest doesn't mean the best
the cn tower is 1815 tall
(1815 is the year Canada won the war of 1812)
these were the best imo
>autistic fascination with skyscrapers
>wanted to be an architect and design beautiful skyline defining buildings
>couldn't get into university
feels bad
At least you have a gf
Saudis are buildng this monster: Jeddah Tower (1,008 m - 3,307 ft)
Those giant desert towers are just ripped off from Frank Lloyd Wright’s “The Illinois”
it's beautiful bros ;_;
There are some interesting projects, this is being built in Nairobi, Kenya.
haha yeah haha
This randomly placed ugly piece of shit, 190 meter
Who the fuck thought a single tall building would be a good idea? Not two, or three. One. Just fucking one.
The third tower
Burj Khalifah at 828 m. But they are building a taller one. Dubai creek tower. No one actually knows for sure how tall it's going to be. But many speculate they wanted to be more than a thousand meters tall so it can be taller than the Jeddah tower being built in Saudi Arabia. So that the tallest building title remains in the city. This might even be the reason they are building it in the first place.
that is hideous
Do you even need all those buildings? who use them?
It is like guys who drive sportscars because they have a small dick.
Tower First, 230m in La Défense CBD, it's a skyscraper from the 1970s that has been modernized, it's pretty pathetic
134,5m
Antenna 168m
That's been on hold for months, probably because of financial issues. It might not be completed.
What in Jesus' name is that shit? It's Scandinavian as fuck. Wish I could remote control fly a 737 MAX in to that monstrosity.
based building wars. which one of you will build the illinois first?
are the upper floors bigger, or is it just twist?
I like irregular buildings, this one is being built here
Glasgow Tower is the tallest building in Scotland. Piece of shit revolving tower that always breaks down and has shitty views. You could get better views from one of Glasgow's many high rise commie blocks.
Looks like the Space Needle after mutually assured destruction.
autism
they unironically looked very ugly. Plain grey rectangles. Depressing desu. Osama did you a favor by fixing the skyline.
would be a shame if someone did "something" to it
What the hell is the purpose of that building?
>Ours is One World Trade Center
No, it isn't. The roof height of OWTC is only 1,368 ft/417m. The tallest skyscraper in the US is currently under construction in Manhattan:
they want it*
Under construction, tallest EU skyscraper, Varso Tower
Why don't Europeans have skyscrapers?
We don't like them
Speak for yourself
fewer big cities and more medium sized ones
I don't know but I don't think so desu. I don't live in Dubai anyway. I barely go out desu. For me those skyscrapers are just eye candy for me to enjoy when I'm in Dubai, unless I'm too bored with them to even bother looking at them. However they still keep building more and more of them. Every time I go there the skyline is different. I remember when I was a kid and there was barely anything in the city. And pic related + Burj Al Arab were the defining skyscrapers of the city lmao.
le ebin tourism or whatever the meme reason is
Observation tower. It's apart of the Glasgow Science Centre, which itself is bretty gud. Excpet for the tower.
Not a building bro
it doesn't fit with old buildings
I know I've been thinking about that too. They live in the 3rd most overpopulated part of the world and they still don't have skyscrapers. I mean to me skyscrapers with variety sound much better than repetitive commie blocks.
Meh
Good one
Just ok
Best ever
O kurwa what a shit
Really good ones
Ugly
We have big dicks
>Wish I could remote control fly a 737 MAX in to that monstrosity
I really wish you could...
>are the upper floors bigger, or is it just twist?
It's just the twist
woah, Poland has such great skycrapers! we really are central european
Not really thread related but
>went to Paris last year
>see this
looks fucking terrifying, I wouldn't want to live in one of those blocks below.
Mieszkaniec bolzgi ę łatwo wykryty
it is a well known fact third worlders fill their cities with skyscrapers to prove how """first world""" they are
Skyscraper more sky rape
Unfortunately, architect industry has a lot of Nepotism.
Most architect degrees end up being unfulfilled and majority of people design normal buildings or houses, instead.
Too much competition for skyscraper architects and the only countries willing to build skyscrapers are Asia and America. You don't see many skyscrapers in Europe.
Skyscraper appetite has died down in America, though, so you would likely have to move to Asia, possibly Japan.
>Ours is One World Trade Center
No it's not
>build 180 million Euro tower
>brag about how it is the tallest building in Sweden
>gonna be super exclusive flats costing around 1 million Euro each
>massive media coverage
>no one wants to buy one kek
>fugg
>remake it into rental apartments, still expensive as fuck
>alright, people are moving in
>hemorrhaging money every year though
>shit
>try to sell it
>no one wants to buy it
>some dude offers around 90 million Euro
>nope too little
>fugg again
>several offers are made, no deal
It's a massive fucking failure, not just ugly
It'll always be Sears Tower.
just type the reason down. nobody is going to watch a 7 minutes video for an explanation. would rather read and talk to someone than just be a viewer to some British youtube channel
Perhaps building it Malmö of all places wasn't the best idea.. Sure I can see that twisted turd in Stockholm, Gothenburg or maybe even somewhere up north with a view of the northern lights.
But Malmö? Da fuck where they thinking?
"let's have the best view of the worst fucking city in Sweden"
Based
Isn't Malmo the muslim colony of Sweden? then it shouldn't be a big deal now should it
Yep, Malmö is a pile of shit full of refugees.
I should know, I'm stuck in this godforsaken hellhole.
LMAO

The tallest building in my state (Oregon) is a boring modernist office tower built back in 1972. It's only 166.4 m tall, or around 546 feet, with 41 floors. There's no observation deck, but I've been near the top of the building to visit an office, and it has nice views.
300m high
Up since 1889
Tallest man made structure for a while too
won't be the tallest one soon tho
the tallest tower in Europe
Based Poland.
Not a building.
Based Santiago Calatrava
420m. Not the tallest anymore but still the biggest dick
