No, I believe it wasn't originally part of the building but was added in the 1930s or so.

1. Does this also count as a skybridge?:

Grande Arche in Courbevoie (Paris):

2. I don't like this one, but it's very odd:

I don't know what it is, as I don't understand Japanese ^^: http://www.marsima.co.jp/kyouryou/kyouryou_mono.html


3. Just a nice one:

Is there any skybridge that is higher than the one between the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia?

I don't think there is a higher one. This skybridge is 58,4m long, links levels 41 and 42 and is 170m above ground level.

Petrona's one is the most elegant skybridge in any high-rises, in my opinion :)

The building's freakin' ugly, but the skybridges are nice (not that they're very "sky", though.)

StarFish,

Do you have any pics of the "skybridge" on the Nokia HQ-building in Copenhagen. It is quite long and has a nice shape, I really like that one.

3. Just a nice one:

That is the Umeda Sky Building in Osaka. Two escalators span the space between the 39th floor of the left building and the 40th floor of the right building. It is quite a ride! And the view of Osaka from the top is marvelous.

I call that round building the "Drive-thru" building. :)
