I didn't realize until now that this is going to be taller than the CN Tower in Toronto. Very interesting.

this tower amazing but i think it doesnt resemble renders. In renders there are wavey designed steel pipes but the real tower doesnt have that.

i hope this comparison between a render and a photo explains what i mean:

ZZ-II · February 8th, 2008, 10:34 AM

i know what you mean, maybe they changed the plans a bit

Densetsu · February 8th, 2008, 11:08 AM

definitely they did
