10th August every year is set aside to celebrate as Skyscraper Appreciation Day. It was the birthday of famous architect William Can Alen who designed the Iconic Chrysler Building in 1928 which has 77 floors in New York City.
Skyscrapers which are buildings higher than 150 m (over 14 floor, 492 ft) are a work of architectural brilliance and the day celebrates man’s ability to construct industrial masterpieces. So in appreciation the Skyscraper Day, we curate 8 famous skyscrapers in the world likes of it are in Dubai, New York, Beijing, Frankfurt, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, San Francisco, Hong Kong, Riyadh, Kaula Lumpur, Tokyo, Shanghai, Macau, Manama, Dubai, Taipei, Barcelona, London, and Malmo.
Dubai SkyscrapersDubai’s Burj Khalifa at 828m is the tallest building in the word. The Burj Al Arab rests on an artificial island constructed at 280m off shore. The world tallest hotel title is received by the JW Marriott Marquis Dubai Hotel which is 355 meters tall. Princess Tower in Dubai with 101 stories is the world’s tallest residential building.
Empire State Building, New York, USAThe Empire State Building remains one of the Icon of New York City and New Yorkers that was completed in 1931. It grabbed the tallest building title from the period 1931 to 1972.
China Central Television Headquarters, Beijing, ChinaComprising a continuous loop of six horizontal and vertical sections, the design represents a running stream of “qi” in the building. The CCTV headquarters look like no other building.
Commerzbank Headquarters, Frankfurt, GermanyThe Commerzbank Headquarters was the world’s first so-called ecological skyscraper, making use of natural systems of lighting and ventilation and reducing energy consumption as early as 1997. The Commerzbank Headquarters is the tallest building in Germany and a symbol of Germany’s attempts to pioneer eco-architectural design.
Elephant Tower, Bangkok, Thailand102-meter-high jumbo building is really special in the local’s hearts and it also showcases Thailand’s high-tech offices, a shopping plaza and a floor of luxury residential suites.
Bitexco Financial Tower, Ho Chi Minh City, VietnamAt 262 meters height, the ambitious Bitexco Financial Tower has an observation deck on the 47th floor, where visitors get a 360-degree view of HCMC, and a helipad on the 50th level, creating one of the structures most salient features.
Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur, MalaysiaEmploying the repetitive geometric principle of Muslim architecture and Islamic arabesques, architect César Pelli wanted the Petronas Twin Towers to exude Malaysian culture and heritage, this 451-meter skyscraper has become Malaysia’s unmistakable icon.
Shanghai World Financial Center, Shanghai, ChinaAt 492 Meters the Shanghai World Financial Center has a subtle connection to Chinese beliefs: the opening atop represents earth reaching up to the sky, symbolizing an interaction between the two realms.
