View Full Version : The best height of building IshikawajimaHarima September 1st, 2005, 11:48 AM How tall? Sinjin P. September 1st, 2005, 12:03 PM I think there's no best height of a building. It all depends on the foundation and the quality of materials being used + the threat of calamities :) wjfox September 1st, 2005, 03:42 PM I can't answer this question. It depends on so many factors. A building can be less than 100m tall and still be just as impressive or suitable as a 400m+ building. samsonyuen September 1st, 2005, 09:27 PM I said 500-600m, not too high. But it really depends on what fits into the skyline... hkskyline September 2nd, 2005, 03:35 AM Isn't there a height to width ratio that makes a building aesthetically pleasing? A lot of the shorter buildings in European cities are stunning in their surroundings. I find these buildings to be very aesthetically beautiful and in harmony with its surroundings : http://www.globalphotos.org/paris/20050417/PARIS1450.jpg http://www.globalphotos.org/paris/20050417/PARIS1455.jpg SUNNI September 2nd, 2005, 07:31 AM i have no voted.. because there is no 'best height' i think great skylines consist of various skyscrapers and different heights B@dGuYoM September 22nd, 2005, 10:45 PM stupid or curious question i think DarkFenX September 23rd, 2005, 06:07 AM A 1000 footer would be for me. That would be around 304 meters tall. Travis007 September 23rd, 2005, 11:13 PM There is no ideal height for a building because it would all depend on the location and situation. But the ideal height for a SKYSCRAPER is over 1000 ft. :) Arpels September 24th, 2005, 12:59 AM I can't answer this question. It depends on so many factors. A building can be less than 100m tall and still be just as impressive or suitable as a 400m+ building. totaly agree :yes: cello1974 September 24th, 2005, 01:02 AM 150 to 300 or 400m. All above that they are just energy eaters!!! beyond 1000 September 24th, 2005, 07:43 AM I voted over 600m because it would be novel for the general population to witness something that tall. My heart however is still for a building whose height is beyond 1000. JJB September 24th, 2005, 09:54 AM Id say 600+ aswell. Just imagine a skyscraper with that height, well set, and with a superb location in the city center! New Jack City September 24th, 2005, 06:02 PM 300-349 m seems like a good range, not too short, not insanely tall, also allows for a lot creativity in a design. cello1974 September 27th, 2005, 01:43 AM ^^ That is right. A 1000m cube or tube would be the worst to imagine in a city!!! DrunKao September 28th, 2005, 05:01 AM I can't answer this question. It depends on so many factors. A building can be less than 100m tall and still be just as impressive or suitable as a 400m+ building. Coming from a true Londoner! :lol: |
