Buying newspapers these days is so old fashioned.

If i were to do so I can assure you that 'The Sun' wouldn't be on my list, if you've ever heard of Hillsborough you would understand why.

Who's 'Alan' ? FWIW I don't 'hate' this tower, it's a great engineering achievement, I just happen to think from a neutral viewpoint that the Shanghai Tower is far better. Any more stupid assumptions ?
As for the 'useless pointy bit'.....are you saying it hasn't got one ?

I know that this is a public forum for anyone who sees fit to post comments, but if you must interject at least try to say something intelligent.

Alan parsons is a English musical engineering genius, and you should be proud to have been associated with him

Nothing wrong with like the Shanghai Tower more, many do, and I didn't gave you a hard time because of that, the point was elsewhere .... as for the pointy bit, can you show me where it start (in the pictures) .... and then proceed of imagining how it would look without.

PS: Would you have approved of it if made out of cooper?

If a building needs to have an extra 100 or more useless metres added just to make it 'look right' that it is a badly designed building.

cooper

It's not hard....
One 'C', One 'O', To 'P's, an 'E' and an 'R'. Got that now?

I think the "pointy bit" is what completes it, it would look weird without it.

And the only justification you can come up with for it is 'it wouldn't look right without it'.
Proves my point really.

"The Burj has got the height record thanks to that useless pointy bit at the top"

***AltinD*** · December 9th, 2012, 06:13 PM

Useless just like the roof of your town home

PS: You don't even know where what you call useless bit starts .... let alone judging how that "helped" to get the title, but of course one has to be a skyscraper enthusiasts to think on those terms, and not into politics and perhaps bigotry,

Could just jump in here with well, even if we feel that the tip is useless, the architect himself felt it was needed so we're all trumped.

Beautiful shots as always guys.
