Is it really necessary to open a new thread about once a day? Just open a thread called "architecture in Iran" and post whatever you want there.

You can find several threads about the architecture in Iran in "Iran" forum: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/forumd...s=&forumid=597

My threads in this forum are about different buildings types and others can contribute to them, as you read in the first page: http://www.skyscrapercity.com , this forum is for discussions on all buildings types.

The first one is really nice! I suppose I'll do the obligatory Canadian National Tower for Toronto.

Yes, the observation deck is closed for renovations.

domtoren · December 21st, 2010, 09:44 PM

The Dom tower is the symbol of Utrecht, it was completed in AD 1382 *Gregorian calendar* and its height is 112 meters. To this day it is an unwritten law that no other building in the city should be higher than this tower. Only a power station smokestack is higher: 150 m

Power station Lage Weide
