Recently Kuala Lumper beat Chicago in a battle of skyscrapers
when experts had the
country's Petronas Twin Towers measured and declared it the
world's tallest building. The
title was formerly held by Chicago's 110-story Sears Tower.
Its status had been left
unchallenged for 22 years.
Buildings in the United States have held the title since
1913, but the need for space
has created a skyscraper boom in Asia. According to one building
expert, "The ball has
started rolling in Asia." However,some experts think
that building super-tall skyscrapers
is not a matter of economics but ego. Every architect wants
to have the honor of having
the tallest building in the world. When the planned 1509-foot
Shanghai World Financial
Center is finished in a couple of years, it will be China's
turn to have that honor.
