  • Skyscrapers 2010 - The World's Tallest Buildings
    Third installment of my skyscraper video featuring the tallest buildings in the world, completed and under construction.
    Height criteria from CTBUH's first method.
    I eventually decided against adopting the Sears Tower's revised name, "Willis Tower". Personal preference.

    @FlashMaster659 No idea yet. I was thinking about how i could one-up myself with this. There isn't anything that comes to mind, aside from really excessive changes like e.g. 3D representations, which would be near impossible without clean blueprints.
    What's really fortunate though is that UA-cam now allows 15 minute videos, so i have room to add a few supertalls in the future.

    Soil testing is being done at the Kingdom Tower site, but no definite proposal has been put forward. 1100m is the latest number circulating.

    KK100 almost spot on
    Federation tower the 2 buildings do exist they were completed 4 years later and the spire doesn't exist
    1 world trade center spot on
    Abraj al bait almost spot on
    Pentominium doesn't exist
    Shanghai tower almost spot on

  • @HiAdrian
    @HiAdrian  14 років тому +1

    Around the time i made the video, skyscraper enthusiast estimated that with changed height rules, 818m would no longer be correct. In the end, they were 4 meters off, if we can trust Emaar's numbers.
    But you're right, 818m and as of Jan. 2010 828m are the two numbers circulating.

  • @HiAdrian

  • @HiAdrian
    @HiAdrian  14 років тому +1

    I used the most common height measurement which is CTBUH's first method. It counts spires as structural height, but not antennas. The ESB's tip falls into the latter category, and so does the Willis Tower's. The other buildings you mentioned are not under construction and have a doubtful future.

  • @Wdomino
    @Wdomino 13 років тому

    @mehrshadvr4 the architects have the design of a tower with the same height of the WTC but with a total height of 541M (1776ft) and in 1776 was the decleration of independence of the united states of america. The freedom tower will be the deepest, symbolic tower of the world and new york forever.

    @HiAdrian  15 років тому

    True. There are many skyscraper videos around with different styles (techno, pop, flashy, slow) and since most viewers only come here once, my intention was simply to "update" it, without reinventing it. For someone who's seen the 2009 one a lot, it would seem somewhat repetitive, can't help it.

  • @HiAdrian
    @HiAdrian  14 років тому

    @nartin86 Bullshit. These are all being built. The only building in the video that is still at ground level is Shanghai Tower because of its enormous foundation. 1WTC is over 300 feet tall already, hardly "basement level"; And of course it will get built.

  • @HiAdrian
    @HiAdrian  15 років тому

    Most sources still say 516m, it's hard to say with Dubai contractors and their damn secrecy.
    According to Emaar, the Burj Dubai is "700m+" so without people counting the levels and a supposed information leak, we would still be in the dark about that.

  • @HiAdrian
    @HiAdrian  14 років тому

    This video is about habitable buildings, which is a completely different technical challenge. Towers are a category of their own.
    The CN Tower was completed in 1976, and i happen to have been on it, so don't presume ignorance.

  • @HiAdrian
    @HiAdrian  14 років тому

    @Kaorankun This video focuses on habitable structures only. Towers, Chimneys, Masts, and such are not included.
    And you're right, the Skytree should be the tallest in Japan by now at over 450m.

    @UnitedPebbles 13 років тому

    Skyscraper is cool but is it safe? imagine if there are fire at the bottom? where would the people evacuate? and in time? What if the building fall? the effect around the building? you have seen it in 9/11! There got to be a better solution! like a hanging garden of buildings.
    There are also shadow problem. Skyscrapers doesn't have reflectors to compensate for taking away the sunlight for those who are unfortunate to be in their shadow. But the shade could be a good thing in summer.

China got the designs of the future . especialy the future of shanghai .

    As it stands right now the new Freedom Tower in NYC will bairly make the top 10. The Chicago spire will will top that which will finish late 2010 being tallest in North America. Although by the end of this year both will likely fall out of the top 10. The current top ten are as follows. 1 Burj Dubai 2. Tower of Russia (2010) 3. Incheon Tower Soul South Korea (2010) 4. Chicago Spire (2010) 5. The Port Tower Karachi Pakistan (2010) 6. Jakarta Tower Indonesia Late 2010-11. Cont.

    There are less buildings in this video because Burj Al Alam, Chicago Spire, and Russia Tower were removed.

    I wonder one the day will be where the only buildings in cities are skyscrapers. I kind of like the idea- it makes the whole thing look more futuristic.

    skyscraper is a staircase between earth and heaven. the taller you are the closer to heaven. (seems like china has the most skyscraper in the world!)
