Hi!

I am here to show how people is getting crazy with all these awesome tall buildings (I am not saying that we are stupid)
Why are they building so high? In my opinion, they are making sky cities and other funny suggestions to make sure that we don't lose all our space on earth and also the place for offices, etc.
These are the 10 current tallest buildings

It's amazing how humans have created such beautiful, tall buildings.


I definitely wouldn't want to be in the upper floors of one of them, though. Aha. I blame my fear of heights.

As someone currently taking a post-secondary program (ABET) pertaining to buildings/structures, it's really fascinating to see what human imagination and ingenuity can lead to.
