Nice link. I saw a documentary about the Taipei 101 on the discovery chanel and the speed of the elevators inside that build are insane. They rerach speed of something like 35km/t. BTW, in Dubai they are constructing a building that will reach hights of 800 meters.  |

im glad all of you like the site, these are just gorgeous creations, and unique. And as special as they are most dont even know exist. Jono: That tower is incredible...... Exquiste. I am rnds: Your welcome, i did the same, but when people walked in they all got into it as well. It was funny, how something so huge goes unoticed. Notic: i heard about that hotel, and i saw pics of the design, UNREAL! CCtv looks pretty cool too. Very futuristic, reminds me of a painting by McEscher. Luw.... That is some Great Adventure speeds!  |

it is truly amazing that a 1931 built skyscraper is in the top ten. The Empire State Building must be beautiful to see. This is one of the places i want to visit.. |
