Tallest Building Images, chronological:
Shanghai Tower, China
Design: Gensler
image from architects
This elegant new tower rotates as it juts skyward and concludes with an open-top design. As the shape rises, an open notch curves up and around the building. This device is an engineering feature to control the wind up and away from the building.

Shenzhen Stock Exchange, China
Design: OMA

This tower is highly unusual, as one might expect from this creative Dutch architecture office. Raising the podium subverts the traditional necessity of connecting a podium to the earth: is this a successful attack on the architectural tradition of the office tower?

U-bora Towers
This building development is primarily an office tower with a lower residential element. This skyscraper building received an award at the 2012 Cityscape Abu Dhabi Award. The building billows out slightly as it rises, like a subtle version of the Walkie Talkie Building in the City of London. This is the fifth award won by this skyscraper building.

The Tallest Towers, alphabetical:
Sarajevo skyscraper
Design: Groleger Arhitekti
rendering : Rok Vettorazzi
The idea by Groleger Arhitekti to create a building, a “diptych”, a merging tower based apparently on two independent volumes, started by a profound analysis of the urbanistic, cultural and social factors of the City of Sarajevo. The result is a metaphorical and encoded building encompassing all environmental influences.
