Well i think u know what i meant, its a large influence in this poll because except for the honest top 3 frankfurt, paris and london, the other cities wouldn't have almost any votes.

I prefer the classical London City skyline over Canary Wharf, though the architectures are amazing and beautiful. It has the feel of being the elite, smartly dressed people in the deep mist, and the chiming clock tower, for some global deals. . .it may not be in the reality, but it is some form of art I like.

I've included 8 cities in the poll that where named very often in the old thread. You can also post pictures from another city or give your own list with best skyline cities in the EU. Here are 8 pictures of 8 cities.

Frankfurt am Main - Germany

Rotterdam - the Netherlands

London - UK

Paris - France

Warsaw - Polen

Let's vote and discuss!

Warsaw - Poland not Polen

Here are some pictures of Hermitage Plaza (two of the projected supertalls in Paris)

Captured from the Foster+Partners' promotion video.

I like the designs but in that location they make the cluster unbalanced. It would be better if they were to be built in the middle.

cardiff · November 3rd, 2009, 11:09 PM

With twin towers, either side of the grand arch would be best. To be honest the buildings are unbalanced in their design so their location is no surprise.

PortoNuts · November 3rd, 2009, 11:11 PM

They should build something not so tall before moving to higher buildings. The step is just too high, makes it unbalanced.

The first "supertall" which will be built is :

Tour Generali, 250-308m. ("u/c": Preliminary works)

Some of these projects are not good at all.

Warsaw is getting the ideas from France and Scandinavia...I am not sure, which is a wealthy influx. Nostalgia is not very good for the economy, messing up your mind. I prefer Rome over Greece. Italy's been nominated the most hygenic nation in Europe recently...and I can guess why.

I wanted to add other fog pictures also:

Lovely Frankfurt shots, Cello!

About those Paris designs: They suck balls.

La Defense is pretty classy right now...but most of the new proposals are SO fugly! I truely hope they are going to reconsider things.

parcdesprinces · November 4th, 2009, 06:17 PM

I don't care : A supertall is a supertall

!!!!!

More seriously, I have to admit that I'm a bit worried about the future skyline AND especially by the ugly/awful/hideous Signal Tower (as usual Jean Nouvel keeps the best for us

)

But I looove the Foster's twin towers !!
