Tall buildings are cool, very cool. Just heard on the news that a developer has proposed a new skyscraper in Chicago, one with a beautiful twist. Looks like, if it's ever built, it'll be a beauty and will easily be the tallest in the US, easily taller than the pending Freedom Tower in NYC (the replacement for the World Trade Center).It's really interesting to me that people are still willing to build up higher and higher after the 9/11 tragedies, but I guess it just brings safety further to the fore with the mega skyscrapers.
But no matter what, the lure of the tallest buildings are amazing, and many of the buildings are gorgeous. Check the link in the title - to www.skyscraperpage.com. Beautiful diagrams, searchable by city, click the main picture to see the most fanciful towers ever. All of the old monuments (Sphinx, pyramids, etc) included. Really cool pages to play around on.
