The Stratosphere Network of Skyscrapers is a global project for the year 3013, a giant hex-structure will evolve all around the Earth, honorable mentioned at 2013 Skyscraper evolo Competition.
The designers of this ambitious project are: Mingxuan Dong, Yuchen Xiang, Aiwen Xie, Xu Han, from China.
The "Dream Hub" in Seoul was supposed to be a "city within a city" — home to a dozen skyscrapers, waterfront parks, and business and residential facilities.
But the $28 billion project, officially called the Yongsan International Business District, is on the line after developers defaulted on a major loan repayment amid a real estate slump, AFP reports.
We won't know whether the project will go bankrupt until June, when another round of loans matures.
Today, skyscrapers are an increasingly common sight where land is expensive, as in the centres of big cities, because they provide such a high ratio of rentable floor space per unit area of land. They are built not just for economy of space but considered as symbols of a city’s economic power. In this post you will see 12 examples of awesome skyscrapers in the World.
A Chinese company thinks they've simplified the construction process so much that they can build the world's tallest skyscraper in 90 days.
Broad Sustainable Building Corporation will lay the foundation for their "Sky City" project this month. The company, famous for building tall buildings in ridiculously short time spans, plans to construct a 220-story skyscraper in 90 days, with construction starting in January and finishing in March. Sky City, if successful, will be 10 meters higher than the current tallest skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
How do they plan on doing it? BSB eschews architectural beauty for simplicity. Their building are tall and block-y. They essentially make buildings out of lego blocks, but in real life. The National Post has a nice graph explaining how they plan on achieving their 90 day goal. "Traditional construction is chaotic," BSB chairman Zhang Yue recently told Wired magazine. "We took construction and moved it into the factory." BSB prepares the pieces offsite and then brings everything together so it slides in easily when construction begins, exactly like Lego blocks. By breaking everything down into simple blocks piled on top of one another, it allows them to build at an amazing pace -- their goal for Sky City is 5 stories a day.
Man has always been found of flying, inspired by birds. Though he can’t fly at his own, but he invented method to do. In his attempt to visit the high air using these methodologies, he built skyscraper to have a flying bird glimpse of the world.
Here is some information about the 10 tallest skyscraper of the world. The buildings have been ordered by official height.

This method shows the Petronas Towers larger than Sears Tower.
An architect maybe the drawer of dreams, but the art acts most slowly and surely on the soul. In what is described as the science of drawing and erecting buildings and other physical structure, it is the unwavering vision and imagination of the creators that adds the human feeling to mortar and steel.
