Post the tallest skyscraper of your country

[VelesHomais]

Post the tallest skyscraper / building (not a chimney, TV Tower or anything like that) of your country. Only one building per country. It has to be topped out (reached final height). Then we can make a list of all European countries with the highest shown as first.

I think it's terrible (I'm 20), and should be demolish as quick as its possible. Despite history it's just ugly and crappy, every new scyscraper is located to fit with PKiN, this destroing plane of center of Warsaw. It's takes to many space on the ground, becouse it's not only tower. But most of Poles like it. I think only becouse they usted to this bulding, it was the tallest, biggest one from always:nuts:

[VelesHomais]

Erhan, include height and number of floors, please.

Rotterdam needs something more "organic" and "feminine". There are too many flat boxes with sharp edges. It makes the city sterile like a LEGO town. More round forms and/or maybe a nice spire would be great.

Unfortunately in Budapest the skyscrapers are dont allowed to build in the city center.. because of the world heritage unique site..
And this is the reason why the companies dont build any highrises in BP.
