Discuss best Asian skyline here.
Singapore skyline is only beautiful at the Marina bay.. outside that.. are not as good..Where are the skylines? I think you're misunderstanding what a "skyline" means. Commieblocks and one low rise apartment building is not a skyline. The first two-three pictures show it basically. Anyway discounting the commieblocks Singapore more or less has a nice organized CBD while Tokyo is just a giant mess with many clusters, some of which are equivalent in scope to singapores. The point still stands fine. Now the question is do we value a uniform skyline like Yokohama, Singapore (CBD), Paris la defense, virtually every American city or giant mass of buildings like Tokyo.
Skyline or city size??btw la defense or yokohama is really small compared to singapore skyline. I think singapore skyline size comparable to KL, manila and chicago
I totally get your point!!The point is still the same: Tokyo has several clusters many rivaling singapores CBD in size, posting commieblocks or a single apartment/condo building doesn't change what I said at all.
pictures speaks louder than wordsI totally get your point!!
Metro Manila is somehow a mixed concept of multiple Clusters/CBD.
Even Metro Manila's clusters (CBDs), each are comparable to Singapore CBD. (Makati, Fort Bonifacio, Ortigas, Manila Bay...)
close up, Singapore has the advantage of a waterfront..Manila is like Orchard district of singapore. almost all the same height and they dont have good setting unlike marina bay
manila bay still under developclose up, Singapore has the advantage of a waterfront..
but move away further.. Manila has the Sea in the west and mountains in the East as natural settings.
i think so too.. latest cluster in development is "Entertainment City" but too bad it's near the airport.manila bay still under develop
i think that place has the potential
Singapore has a 280 m height restriction due to the downtown core's proximity to Paya Lebar airport.You are making my point for me. Singapore has no supertalls at all, Tokyo has the tallest tower in the world and a 333m one as well, Bangkok has two super talls both shorter than Tokyo tower (333m). All three cities have 200m+ buildings. If none of those are "medium height", that means only Hong Kong, Shanghai and maybe one or two other Chinese cities have skylines.
Its like The Transamerica Pyramid in SF in which was originally planned as a supertall.Actually singapore has 3 supertall proposal that scaled down to 280m, 280m and 223m.
1.Millenia Tower (Proposed 380m-ish) to 223m
2.Republic Plaza (Proposed 400m-ish) to 280m
3.UOB/OUB Towers (Think they were originally planned up to 350m++) to 280m
Now current tallest is tanjong pagar centre standing at 290m located in tanjong pagar not orchard road. Can be seen in first pic of sg in this page which is still u/c
Makati CBD alone can create a descent skyline for Metro Manila. The cityscape itself resembles a North American downtown.ok then lol
take NOTE.. this is just JUST Makati CBD.
I always thought Manila's skyline is really Makati. There isn't another area with such a mass of skyscrapers.
