Top 5 most populous megacities worldwide
The United Nations has released fresh data on the most populous cities in the world. Let's take a look at the top megacities by population.
This building is called Robot Building. It was erected in Bangkok about 30 years ago. It is noted that this form of the building was invented for a reason - it was then a symbol of success in the computerization of banking. It is noteworthy that the architect took the robot, with which his son played at the time, as the basis of the structure.
A truly amazing skyscraper is located in Prague. This television tower is called Žižkov Television Tower, with a height of 216 meters it is considered one of the highest in the whole of Europe (although our Ostankino tower in height, for example, is as much as 516 meters). The unusuality of this tower is this: if you look at the details of the building, you can see a group of babies crawling along it. It is known that they were "glued" to the tower within a certain installation, but remained on it to this day.
This building is the headquarters of the Chinese state-owned broadcasting company CCTV. This Beijing skyscraper, in fact, is called - CCTV Headquarters. This object was erected by the 2008 Olympics. The height of the building is 234 meters, the total number of floors is 54. It is noted that this building is the world's largest single-standing architectural structure after the Pentagon.
Perhaps, one of the most unusual and incomprehensible towers is Nakagin Capsule Tower. This building is situated in Tokyo, which already somehow justifies its very strange appearance. Inside this building, there are capsule-rooms, in which offices and living quarters are located. It is noteworthy that the main idea of this design is this: when some elements of the house become obsolete, they can be replaced with new ones.
One of the towers of the ensemble "Moscow-City" is also very popular. So, the tower "Mercury" for some reason is criticized by the local residents of the capital. Perhaps because of the fiery gold color that adorns the facade of the skyscraper.
An unusual "rocket" is located in the North Korean capital Pyongyang. This building, which forms an important part of the city panorama, is intended for the Hotel Rügen. It is known that the skyscraper's construction was really long - it began about 30 years ago, and was completed only in 2014.
In Serbian Belgrade, there are popular in the country "Western Gate of Belgrade" - Genex Tower. They are a mini-architectural ensemble of two towers. The skyscraper was built in the distant 1980s and was supposed to perform the role of "maitre d'hôtel" - to welcome all those entering the city.
One of the most unusual buildings in the world is the skyscraper Kingdom Center, built in the main city of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. In form, the skyscraper resembles a bottle opener, and its height exceeds 300 meters. In an unusual structure, there are offices of companies, headquarters of the Prince of Saudi Arabia, shops, as well as the hotel of the famous Four Seasons chain.
This unusual building is located in London and in shape resembles a pinecone. The main feature of the architectural structure is the absence of corners. Many people jokingly call the skyscraper a "cucumber".
Finally, one of the most popular buildings in the world is the complex of skyscrapers Marina Bay Sands Resort, situated in Singapore. It is here that the world famous swimming pool is located, from which a panorama of the city-state opens. This miracle of construction is estimated at $8 billion. Inside the skyscraper, there is a hotel, casino, shops, cultural institutions and so on.
