Yeah, the Milan project is much better than London Bridge Tower, I don't really like that "piramid" design.

has anybody news/pics of the planned calatrava towers in Valencia?

I think this is one of the best looking proposal I have seen.

I dont like the London tower looks like a modern version of the SF pyramid....come on London, you are already playing catch up to the rest of the world, at least build some quality designs...

I was going to mension that as well

Well it looks way better than the Transamerica Tower. Anyway, just because one tower was built in a pyramid doesn't mean that other cities cannot build a different version of it. Many tower has a different version of it so what's wrong on building one that is better?

I think that LBT is one of the best skyscraper proposals anywhere at the moment and I would far rather have this one than the latest Freedom Tower design.

Unfortunately, though the renderings get better, there is still a long way to go before we see the completed building, or even work starting on site.

In most of Britains major cities, new tall buildings are proposed or under construction. Whilst it is unrealistic and undesirable that our cities try to emulate the Manhattan or Hong Kong skylines, what we are seeing is a great improvement in designs over the last major tranche of tall building development in the 60s and 70s, as you can see by comparing LBT with the Guys Hospital tower next door to it.

My favourite proposed skyscraper is Liverpool's West Tower, which has just commenced construction and will be the tallest building in our city and the second tallest UK building outside of London:

Out of any tower this is my favoutite proposal.

Ugh. Those are some ugly designs.

My favorite would probably be the NYSE Tower, though it's probably now in the cancelled section.

http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/532/28newyorkcity-newyorkstockexchange.jpg

I wouldnt mind having that NYSE proposal here in Chicago. It speaks to me. Hmmm, I wonder if it could be resurrected?

Those Valencia things look ugly too - sometimes people criticse "box designs" but cmon...I'd rather have those classics than that any day of the week!

My favorite would probably be the NYSE Tower, though it's probably now in the cancelled section.

http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/532/28newyorkcity-newyorkstockexchange.jpg

That's nice but maby a tad too thin?

Yea that one does look nice!

The new Freedom Tower looks like it incorporated some of the elements of the NYSE tower (which looks great). I like the proposed Milan towers. I'm not sure about the London Bridge Tower. There are so many modern skyscrapers under construction or planned in London, it'll change the cityscape...

^^ i agree....that tower would have been the icon of the world. A shame it was cancelled.

The first towers posted in this thread are very nice. I love the LBT-my favourite proposal anywhere in the world atm. It's a shame that NY tower is cancelled. Would have been an icon.

Isn´t LBT approved, or even u/c by now?

LBT has many pre-lets...and out of all the proposed London scrapers LBT is the most likely to happen.

sapphire tower!!

When will the LBT start construction? How many scrapers are under construction in London right now? I´m just wondering because i have seen a pic of what CW will look like in about 2 years(2008) and it´s trice the size of what it is today...how are they able to buil so many towers in such short time??

^^Scaling is wrong though

The height isn't that ridiculous to make it a fantasy, nor is it listed as one on Emporis. There is a website for it: http://www.fordhamcospire.com

From our "inside" information, there are nearly 1000 people on the waiting list for this tower, well over the 200-250 units planned.

The main hurdles that need to be passed are finalizing the design, approval from the city (the Mayor said he was excited about it), keeping SOAR from opposing it (could be kept quiet through donations to a nearby park, etc.) and financing. And then finding a 5+ Star hotel that isn't already in or planning to be in Chicago.

The Donald was also planning to have the NY Intl Finance Ctr that was to be 990 m and 200 floors, and it would have been completed around 2010.

wonderful constructions

^^ These towers for Valencia will be used for what?

Those Calatrava's Towers in Valencia: are really going to be built? can´t wait to see them.

Wow!!! THIS is my favourite!!! Thanks foor the rendering!!!

Is that a real proposal or just a vision? Have never seen it.

^^ No? I have even read about it in a magazine. It was a real proposal, but I think the chances of being built are low!!!

I thought it was a vision :?

^^ Well, from what I read some (very much time) ago in PM magazine, it was a serious proposal for London. But it the article said it was not very possible to build it, since at least 20% of it had to be rented or sold before construction, maybe it was not possible to sell or rent as much of the building! What a pity!!!

Yeah, I too thought it was either a vision or never built...

Is that a real proposal or just a vision? Have never seen it.

Its a real proposal, there are some other pics where you can see the tower without the efects

I made it up before an official render was released for the site. Interestingly, the actual condo (though much more restrained than my invention) shares some simillarities (shards). I think is quite elegant... it's the tower in the BOTTOM LEFT, attached to the Libeskind Crystal (u/c).

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear :ohno:

This is mine.
http://www.skyscrapernews.com/quays_point1.jpg
There called the Quay Point Tower. Should be built in Salford.

The Noida Tower is supposed to be the tallest in the world. There is some info on emporis website. I must agree though that I do not really like the look right now. I am pretty sure that it will change though, because the architects are good. They have built fancy buildings in Dubai.

It most likely won't be the tallest anymore. Still in the top 5 probably, but not at the heights of Dubai. But that's still impressive for India, considering it lacks anything in the top 300 I think, and with one huge thing of towers will go to near the top.

ooh, i like that tower in la defense! never seen it before...

the title is your favorite project,not you 10 favorite projects

My favourite proposal, after new renders were released recently:

Vision Tower, Brisbane
Height is 246m to roof with approval pending for a spire to 280m which would make it the third tallest building in Australia after Q1 and Eureka.
http://img368.imageshack.us/img368/2397/vision3zm.jpg

looks a little bit similar to eureka!

Looks more like Q1 to me. Great design anyhow.

Looks like a fish to me.

I like the top part better than the Q1

It's a shame that Chicago couldn't have 7SD after the FAA didn't approove its height back in 2001, and this was before 9/11, not after it.

^ I think Fordham Spire is nicer so I'm quite happy it didn't get built :). (Assuming that FS wouldn't have happened if it had been)

How possible is it that the proposals for Milan get built?

the future looks gaudy!

what every happened to simplicity...

Dubai is going to be the strangest skyline in the world, if it isn't already

How possible is it that the proposals for Milan get built?
Well, from the economic point of view, the project has about 10% of chances to get built, from the demographic view (Milan is shrinking fastly) it is 2% and from the need of new offices the chances could be 40%... in 2020! :)

Noida tower!

I love Europaviertel with Urban Entertainment Center and the Millennium Tower (375m) in Frankfurt:

Park Square Tower and hopes it gets built

^^ When will those Frankfurt towers get built?

I actually like 7SD better than the Fordham Spire, b/c it lookes more realistic.

London's skyline is going through an amazing transformation, remember when only the London bridge and Parliament were the only recognizable structures. Dubai, has no words to describe its ascent to the top 3 or 5 of most intriguing skylines.

^^ When will those Frankfurt towers get built?
I wrotean e-mail to the investor Vivico. A part of it is under construction. The two darker shorter towers ( Tower 1 with 210m and Tower 2 with 180m)may get built next year, the Millennium Tower and tower 185 a and b (hidden behind the Millennium Tower can get built as soon as Vivico and the city's administration stop quarreling about the shopping areas around! ;) :sleepy:

My favourite proposal, after new renders were released recently:

Vision Tower, Brisbane
Height is 246m to roof with approval pending for a spire to 280m which would make it the third tallest building in Australia after Q1 and Eureka.

I think this is my favorite building going up in Brisbane also. It will have an observation deck! It will also be a great piece of infill as it will link two streets with a pedestrian plaza.

Nice!!!!
