Ryugyong Hotel: One of the great trajedies of modern architecture, this monster hotel was started way back in the early 80s, just before North Korea had all those sanctions placed on it. The situation in North Korea deteriorated until construction finally ground to a halt due to budget cuts in 1992 where this fantastic looking building sat, half constructed. There is evidence that the building was badly built from the start (crappy concrete mixes etc) and will probably be useless if it ever is finished. Its not like the North Koreans are going to let anybody in to visit the hotel anyways.

Burj Dubai: The current tallest building in the world. My previous post goes into greater detail on this 800m super skyscraper.

The Gherkin: No where near as tall as the other buildings but this buildings fantastic shape and superb finish makes the Gherkin a favorite of Londoners.

Rose Tower: One of the most beautiful towers I have seen, this is an absolute credit to the architect and anyone who had any input into designing this gorgeous building’s slender curves and lines.

Bank of America Plaza: At the opposite end of the spectrum to the Rose tower is this monstrously imposing tower blog in Atlanta. There is nothing sleder about this tower, but that probably why it looks so striking.

Burj Al Arab Hotel: The only 6 star hotel in the world with a tenis court ontop of the world with no safety rails this is truily an amazing building. It is shaped and styled to look like a boat sail and caters only to the most rich and powerfull people in the world.
