Revision as of 10:40, 3 December 2006
These are lists of skyscrapers, ranked by:
- structural height (vertical elevation from the base to the highest architectural or integral structural element of the building). The list is maintained by Emporis.
- highest point on the building (source unknown)
Only buildings with continuous occupiable floors (high-rise buildings) are included. The lists include completed buildings, as well as buildings which have been topped out but are not yet complete. For lists that include non-building structures, See: List of tallest buildings and structures in the world and List of tallest structures in the world.
Ranking criteria and its alternatives
Emporis ranks the buildings by highest architectural structural element, which means [1]:
- height of spire, statues (or any other architecturally integral element) count towards the height of the building
- height of antenna, flagpole (or other detail not classified as architecturally integral element) does not count towards the height of the building
- roof height is only relevant if no higher architecturally integral element is present
This naturally hurts the rankings of buildings without spires, or with antennas instead of spires. The most famous such discrepancy is that Malaysian Petronas Towers (with spire on top) is ranked higher than the US Sears Tower (with antenna on top) despite having lower roof and lower highest point (of spire/antenna).
Alternative lists of high buildings are maintained by nongovernmental US organization Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. These lists, first defined and compiled in 1996 as a response to the dispute as to whether the Petronas Towers or the Sears Tower was taller, rank buildings in four categories: height of structural or architectural top; height of highest occupied floor; height to the top of roof; height to top of any part of the building. Currently Taipei 101 tops all categories except highest point, where the Sears Tower is highest.
Highest skyscrapers by architectural detail (top 200)
(Note: Destroyed buildings not included, notably the World Trade Center which would be in the top 10) Adapted from [2]Alternative measurements
Height to Roof
Many skyscraper afficianados prefer this measurement to determine tallest building in the world, as "architectural feature" is regarded as a subjective aspect.
Rank | Building | City | Jurisdiction | Height | Floors | Built |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Taipei 101 | Taipei | Taiwan | 1,469 ft | 101 | 2004 |
2 | Sears Tower | Chicago | Illinois | 1,454 ft | 108 | 1974 |
=3 | Petronas Tower 1 | Kuala Lumpur | Malaysia | 1,360 ft | 88 | 1998 |
=3 | Petronas Tower 2 | Kuala Lumpur | Malaysia | 1,360 ft | 88 | 1998 |
5 | 2 International Finance Centre | Hong Kong | Hong Kong (People's Republic of China) | 1,335 ft | 90 | 2003 |
6 | Jin Mao Building | Shanghai | People's Republic of China | 1,275 ft | 93 | 1998 |
7 | Empire State Building | New York City | New York | 1,250 ft | 102 | 1932 |
8 | Tuntex 85 Sky Tower | Kaohsiung | Republic of China (Taiwan) | 1,140 ft | 85 | 1997 |
9 | Aon Center | Chicago | Illinois | 1,136 ft | 83 | 1973 |
10 | John Hancock Center | Chicago | Illinois | 1,127 ft | 100 | 1969 |
Height to Pinnacle
Many skyscraper enthusiasts prefer this measurement although what extensions can and cannot be deemed "architectural" is highly subjective. However this value is listed in lists of air traffic obstacles or similiar lists.
Skyscrapers under construction
A list of skyscrapers taller than 300 metres under construction.
Skyscrapers (pinnacle height > 300 metres) whose construction is on-hold
There are some skyscrapers whose construction is on-hold.
Name | Planned pinnacle height | Proposed year of completion | Country | Town | Remarks | |
