The Tallest Buildings in the World

Welcome to my page! Hopefully, this is the site where you can find the information you need about those wonderful tall buildings all around our planet. From the fantastic skyscrapers, to the communication towers out there. I am currently updating this page so it far from complete.
This page is here to stay! Peace! :-)

The new format will be so that the types of the buildings will be representated by colours. Television and Communication Tower will have a different colour from lets say Skyscraper or Office buildings.

In the link of the bottom of this page, I will place those projects that are under construction and those that just are planned. More information on Firms and Architecs expected. More links will be added continuesly. Check it out.
