Crane... basically you build up and use the building itself as a growing crane platform to keep on building up.




How do you get the crane down once you are done?

The crane towers generally form the elevator shafts....... Or are incorporated into the building somehow.

it is. These buildings are not just tall..but really good looking and imaginative. That building also has the worlds biggest clock and i love the spire. Looks like a fancy hood ornament lol..

hong kong has some amazing new buildings as well.

Different strokes for different folks. I think it's hideous.

I did find this picture however. I wish I knew more to the story.

First I'd seen of the Mecca building. I thought it was a joke at first.

That's a lot of money blown on something of such controversial quality. Looks like a gaudy, ugly Big Ben.

ETA: It'd make a fantastic Vegas hotel
