In this article we take another step in the same direction and show you the next 5 amazing buildings that are on the list of the tallest buildings in the world. However, all these buildings have common features – they are organic and imaginatively designed, blow up all dimensions and shoot up. They are built so precisely that you feel safe there in the next century.

An excellent example of futuristic architecture that leads us into the future

Every look at these giants is a pleasure for eyes and soul. Not only are they distinguished by striking design of their architecture, but also offer excellent energy efficiency and are built environmentally friendly and sustainable. Their soft, flowing forms tower into the sky and attract our eyes to the top.

The One World Trade Center, with its imposing shape and height (541 m), is not only the tallest building in New York City, but also the newest and tallest skyscraper in the United States.

It has 104 floors, 70 of which are office floors. Completed in 2014, the giant was built as a functional building to commemorate the September 11, 2001 attacks and was named after the North Tower of the original World Trade Center.

The future plans of the architects and the city of New York City include the construction of five office towers, which should form a joint composition with the One World Trade Center. Part of it will be the National September 11 Memorial Monument and Museum.

However, Tapei 101 with its height of 527 m is still enviable, hardly to mention how remarkable the building is. Its imposing shape is wonderful on the entire city panorama and even towers far beyond the skyline of the city.

Architecture that belongs more to the future
