The Sears Tower is the tallest out of all of them as the antennas on top reach 530m. Pretty cool diagram though. I wonder how big Canada Tower in London is compared to those other buildings...

The tower at Canary Wharf (One Canada Square) has 50 floors and is 800 feet (244 metres) high.

It is the tallest building in Britain.

that's not a building though, just a section of a building raised up.

also, it seems to count the radio towers for buildings in china, but not others, take a close look at the chart.

i had the same thought... even back in high school. i was like.. wheres the CN Tower... but it's not a "building" in office terms.. just a structure.

In my opinion, IFC is not that spectacular to be honest.

Sure it's very tall and all that, but Bank Of China or HSBC building has much better decoration and has more futuristic designs.

Sometimes I wish Bank Of China was as tall as IFC... it would rock!

I know, but just because it's in Hong Kong ;) That's all. Haha.

Where is the Freedom Tower ?...

[skiiper]

fascinating. interesting to note that only 2 are from the states, and if u cound taiwan as a part of china, 6 of them are in china. doesnt matter where they are, they are all incredible works of engineeering.

The Freedom Tower project looks amazing, the way it's shaped, that's great architecture.

cn tower still hightest man make point on earth

[kaffra]

when i was going back to malaysia, i noticed they promote petronas as the tallest twin towers of the world. lol, they still want a 'st

[moloko]

I am not really impressed with the new tower being built in New York. Only 70 stories. The new building being built in Dubai is something that will be breath taking. I can not even imagine something that tall right now. Being on the deck from there is going to be amazing.
