Tell about World's Tallest buildings ?

hi

The tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa, has held onto its title since 2010. Other entires on the list of the world's tallest buildings include the Shanghai Tower, the Abraj Al-Bait, and the Ping An International Finance Centre.

Whether it be due to innovation or land scarcity, the expansion of towns and cities has increased at a very vertical rate in recent years. In fact, there seems to be a great deal of competition between cities to see who can build the world's most impressive supertalls.

the world's tallest building can bring tourism revenue and glory to its host city, although it is not a title that many cities hold on to for very long. When it comes to skyscrapers, world trends are changing. North America used to have 75 percent of the tallest buildings 20 years ago, but this has shifted to Asia and the Middle East today. Thanks to the marvel of modern engineering that is ever-changing with the times, buildings keep growing higher, higher, and higher.

The Shanghai World Financial Center was completed in 2008, and has a height of 1,614 feet with 101 floors. It is located in Shanghai's skyscraper-laden Pudong district and acts as an international finance and trade center.

Like its name would suggest, Tapei 101 has a total of 101 stories. At 1,667 feet tall, it is among the world's tallest buildings. Taipei 101 made great waves when it was constructed in 2004, as its design was quite revolutionary at the time.

It held the title of the world's tallest building for six years before being surpassed by the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. An example of postmodern architecture, Taipei 101 is well known for its unique green-blue hue. It dominates the skyline of Taipei and is a major tourist attraction, mainly thanks to its observatory at the top.

The Shanghai Tower is the world's second tallest building as well as the tallest building in China, with 121 floors and a height of 2,073 feet.

The construction of Shanghai Tower began in 2006 and took a total of eight years. This building was designed by Gensler, an American architectural company. Its initial purpose was to to serve as a hotel and office building.

the Shanghai Tower has a total of 320 hotel rooms and 1,100 parking spaces. The view from the top of the building offers a stunning view of the area of Shanghai known as Pudong, which has seen a great amount of development over recent times.

At 2,717 ft, Dubai's Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world.

Primarily constructed from steel and concrete, the building was designed by the same architects who were responsible for other famous super-talls like the Willis Tower in Chicago and One World Trade Center in New York City.

The construction of the building, which was completed in 2010, was part of an initiative by the government of the United Arab Emirates to shift the country’s economy from one that is solely oil-based to a more tourism and service based nation. The Burj Khalifa has 30,000 residences spread out over 19 residential towers, an artificial lake, nine hotels, and a shopping mall.

These are the images that show what will soon be known as the world's next tallest building rising from the desert. When the 3,280-feet-tall (1,000-meter-tall) Jeddah Tower, in Saudi Arabia, opens in 2020, it will knock Dubai's iconic Burj Khalifa off its throne as the tallest skyscraper in the world by 236 feet (72 meters). Construction of the landmark is estimated to cost $1.4 billion.

Frank Lloyd Wright once proposed The Illinois, a mile-high skyscraper set on the shore of Lake Michigan in Chicago, a towering giant of a building powered by atomic elevators. It's clear symbol of the current race to raise skylines around the world that Wright's vision from the '50s, yet to be realized, is coming closer and closer to reality.

Developments in building technology and a surfeit of construction projects in Asia makes the title of tallest building more temporary than ever; only one of the buildings on this list of the ten tallest in waiting are in North America, and half of them will eventually eclipse the height of One World Trade Center.

This list contains the tallest under construction based on data from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. There are many others on the drawing board, but this is meant to showcase the projects likely to be completed.

This skyscraper is likely will become the first to break the one kilometer mark, not merely because it's already under construction and supported by the deep pockets of billionaire Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, but because it was designed by Adrian Smith.

An architect whose career highlights include the Hancock Center and Burj Khalifa, Smith designed the Jeddah Tower to be the next iteration of the Burj, a shard of steel and glass that, in its triangular shape, recalls a palm about to spread its fronds.

The centerpiece of a new suburb, this skyscraper will shatter records, offer sightseers a perch on the 157th story (site of a proposed helipad), and even showcase an entirely new type of elevator, speedy double-decker cabins swept between floors by a new carbon fiber cord. Perhaps more incredible is that building was meant to be a mile high, but engineers discovered that the surrounding geology unsuitable to support such a structure.

Property developers are hoping this crystalline tower becomes as much of a catalyst for the city as César Pelli's Petronas Towers, still the tallest twin structures in the world. This is a massive project for Australian firm Fender Katsalidis Architects, which has been attached to a series of tall towers in Melbourne.

Another project being overseen by the firm of Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, this in-the-works tower in central China offers a unique, curved profile, a tripod shape that tapers and forms a dome to reduce wind resistance.

The entire structure, from the grand lobbies to the corners fashioned in curved glass, present a fluid profile, reducing the building's material footprint. To add an additional air of exclusivity, the summit of this multi-use super tall will include a private member's club.

A symbol of recent developments in the Thai capital, like the under-construction transit lines connecting outlying areas to the central business district, this supertall will be an exclamation point on Bangkok’s continued growth as a regional hub.

Named after a famous Thai king, the future landmark, which will be southeast Asia’s tallest building, will include a six-star hotel and become a highlight of the city center, which features a master plan by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.
