octagonal towers: Torre de Cristal (Madrid) and 1 World Trade Center (NYC). Crystal Tower began construction in 2004 and this iteration of the "Freedom Tower" was unveiled in 2005.

The Gherkin 'inspired' building in Bangkok? It's an ersatz copy.

Toronto based Olympia & York, which built large parts of Toronto's CBD, sought to recreate a little bit of Canada in both London and New York. The company built Canary Wharf in London and World Financial Center in New York. Quite predictably some of the buildings look very similar.

Olympia & York eventually went bankrupt and some of their properties became part of another Toronto company called Brookfield.

I love that Minneapolis building. One of the best around imo.

I like the building in Bangkok more than the Gherkin.

I think also the Unipol Tower u/c in Milano is inspired by the 30 St Mary Axe in London.

The MetLife Tower in New York City might have been inspired by the Pirelli Tower in Milano

The Mercuriales (1975), Paris (Bagnolet)

The towers was inspired by the WTC.

There are certain buildings are building by the same architectural firm but with a slightly different concept.

Take Goldman Sachs Tower in Jersey City and IFC in HK particularly 1-IFC are they are within the similar height range.

Not a complete copy but some similarities

US Bank Tower (LA)

UOB Tower (Singapore)

Though quite different the Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower always struck me a inspired by the Gherkin.

while not an exact copy and not being finished yet, Chongqing Raffles City at Chaotianmen has a unique location, is really tall and has other improvements to Marina Bay Sands in Singapore by the same developer.

More renders
