It is hard to ignore those towering, unique structures
that often defy ones senses and laws of gravity. These Architects continue to dazzle us in
their abilities and imagination in creating works of engineering marvel.
London firm Grimshaw has submitted plans for a 90-storey
skyscraper in a suburb of Sydney, Australia. The Aspire Tower, designed for a
competition held by Parramatta City Council, will have spires reaching to 336
metres and a roof height of 306 metres – higher than the Q1 tower in
Queensland, which is currently the tallest building in the southern hemisphere.

A
Chinese tycoon is planning to revolutionise the way skyscrapers are built by
bolting together the world's tallest building from factory-made parts in just
seven months. The new skyscraper will house more than
30,000 people, and include a shopping centre and hotels. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/9577080/Worlds-tallest-skyscraper-to-be-built-like-Meccano-in-seven-months.html
