Tallest Skyscrapers in the World (3D Size Comparison)

From a tower that has the largest clock on Earth, to a building so mind-bogglingly tall it holds 7 world records, here is a 3D comparison of the tallest skyscrapers on the planet. To top things off we will also feature 3 proposed skyscrapers over 1,000 meters that could claim that title in the near future.

This is our 200th video on the channel, so we took extra time to work on this 3D video. We hope you enjoy it! Let us know if you'd like to see something similar on another topic. Thanks for watching💛– Luis, Freddy & Regis

measuring to pinnacle rather than flat roof feels like cheating

[Howlingburd]

As an American the Shanghai Tower is literally one of the absolute coolest-looking skyscrapers in the world. I like how it “twists” 😃

[Marcus]

Yeah, I will never call it the Willis Tower. It’s forever the Sears Tower.

[Ai-HistoryUnveiled]

The Merdeka tower is the most impressive!! how they had to invent new special cement to make the structure stable!! is mind boggling… well done Malaysia 🎉

[Asifalirahman]

An interesting video. I am curious to know why you missed the Petronas Twin Towers of Malaysia. They are taller than the Empire State Building and they were the tallest in the world in the late 1990s.

An architect's dream can sometimes be a structural engineer's nightmare, yet every completed structure stands as proof that structural engineers are skilled at transforming those nightmares into reality. 👷

[artapples]

Spires shouldn't count, it's silly. Only floors that people can go up to (live or work) should count

[huss]

I like how the Sears Tower is a 1980's knight rider kind of look.

[brentharrington]

Here's the thing...no one needs giant buildings anymore.

Office space is becoming obsolete, and the livability of giant skyscrapers diminishes the higher up you get.

[ClarkeDesign]

Whilst I get building these is kind of fun, how many hospitals, schools and care homes could you build for the price of just one of these buildings?

[BeautifulBuildings-ssim]

Burj Khalifa 828 meters
Jeddah Tower 1008 meters
Oblisco Capitale 1080 meters

[mpaulm]

How can Taipei be the tallest building in the world from 2004-10 when a building older than it (Willis Tower) is taller?

[MithunOnTheNet]

Should have mentioned the names of the architects who designed these skyscrapers. Most of these buildings were designed by just two American architecture firms:

1) Taipei 101 - C.Y. Lee and C.P. Wang (Taiwanese)
2) Willis Tower - SOM (USA)
3) CITIC Tower - KPF (USA)
4) Tianjin CTF Finance Centre - SOM (USA)
5) Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre - KPF (USA)
6) One World Trade Center - SOM (USA)
7) Lotte World Tower - KPF (USA)
8) Ping An Finance Center - KPF (USA)
9) Abraj Al Bait - SL Rasch GmbH and Dar Al-Handasah Architects (Lebanon)
10) Shanghai Tower - Gensler (USA)
11) Merdeka 118 - Fender Katsalidis (Australia) and RSP KL (Malaysia)
12) Burj Khalifa - SOM (USA)

KPF - Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates
SOM - Skidmore, Owings & Merrill

Fun fact, Samsung C&T was the lead construction contractor for both Merdeka 118 *and* Burj Khalifa!

Eradicating poverty? Have you been to Malaysia? There are more homeless people in your country.

[Blueesteel_]

It’s still the Sears tower … always will be. And also as a New Yorker we all still call it the freedom tower..

[tritium]

The Ping An Finance Center is the tallest structure that looks like an obelisk.

[CrispyBarOfSoap]

Dude if that steel counterweight in the Taipei ever came loose, it’s not taking any prisoners. 😬

[georged]

You should be consistent with the conventional approach to measuring height. The spire or antenna only count if they are a permanent part of the building.

[CHAS]

Great video. I've been working on medium size high rises for decades. Worked at Flour City Architectural Metals until 1995. Then co-worked with them on a joint venture, the 4 Seasons Hotel and Tower on Brickell Avenue in Miami (now 2nd tallest in the city).
