Top Skyscrapers in the World
One World Trade Center, New York :- At a whopping 1,776 feet,
this landmark structure is so high up that you can see the curve of the Earth
from the top. One World Trade Center is the new icon to grace the New York
skyline and symbolizes the resilience of the US post the terror attack of 9/11.
Mode Gakuen Tower, Tokyo
:- Dubbed as the “cocoon” due to its
resemblance of being wrapped in a lattice, the Mode Gakuen Tower is inspired by
the Japanese tradition of beautifully wrapping objects. It is also a classic
example of moving away from the traditional, angular skyscrapers to a more
curvy and rounded design.
Shanghai Tower, Shanghai
:- China's tallest building is
nestled amongst two other skyscrapers that together competes for the world
first grouping of 3 “supertalls”. The buildings are designed to be a vertical
city and people can live, work and play without having to leave the area. Make
sure to book a tour of the tower when you book your China Holiday.
International Commerce
Center, Hong Kong :- This new age
skyscraper is built atop a high speed railhead which will connect to financial
towers hundreds of miles away in China. The structure is designed with notches
that deflects sunlight to the deep interiors of the building and features a
curved base that resembles a dragon’s tail. Book your holiday to Hong
Kong to catch a glimpse of this stunning skyscraper.
Burj Khalifa, Dubai :- The Burj Khalifa is something of a celebrity in the
world of skyscrapers and is easily one of the most recognized structures in the
world. The behemoth structure towers more than
a kilometer into the sky and features a unique honeycombed, triangular
shape. Dubai's skyline is dotted with hundreds of bold architectural designs,
even amongst them, the Burj Khalifa stands out. See this amazing engineering
feat for yourself! Book your Dubai Holiday with Via.
CCTV Headquarters, Beijing
:- Designed by the famed architect
Ram Koolhaas, this unique skyscraper wows visitors with a sleek, angular design
that eschews height for a cool visual identity. Koolhaas wanted to capture the
essence of the telecommunication business in the design and used the loop to
signify connectivity.
The Shard, London :- The Renzo Piano-designed 87-story pyramid structure aims to inject
some jazz and colour into London's staid and serious image. Currently, the
tallest building in the European Union, the structure features 72 habitable
floors, with a viewing gallery and open-air observation deck.
Trump International Hotel
& Tower, Chicago :- A stunning
tower located on the Chicago River that pays homage to the city that invented
the skyscraper in the 19th century.
Despite its unique design, the structure has managed to reflect the
architecture of various landmarks in the city.
