Bobster Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 The Sears Tower is the tallest out of all of them as the antennas on top reach 530m. Pretty cool diagram though. I wonder how big Canada Tower in London is compared to those other buildings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the tallest building in Britain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how big Canada Tower in London is compared to those other buildings... 585794422[/snapback] that's not a building though, just a section of a building raised up. also, it seems to count the radio towers for buildings in china, but not others, take a close look at the chart.

ZZOOzzoo Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I wanna go back to my hometown and see the IFC. :(dL 585794511[/snapback] In my opinion, IFC is not that spectacular to be honest. Sure it's very tall and all that, but Bank Of China or HSBC building has much better decoration and has more futuristic designs. Sometimes I wish Bank Of China was as tall as IFC... it would rock!

skiiper Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 fascinating. interesting to note that only 2 are from the states, and if u cound taiwan as a part of china, 6 of them are in china. doesnt matter where they are, they are all incredible works of engineeering.

moloko Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I am not really impressed with the new tower being built in New York. Only 70 stories. The new building being built in Dubai is something that will be breath taking. I can not even imagine something that tall right now. Being on the deck from there is going to be amazing.
