There's something fascinating -- intimidating yet very, very cool -- about tall buildings. These are the tallest buildings in the United States (including those under construction). These are the tallest buildings being built anywhere in the world. While the U.S. seems to have mostly lost its taste for supertall buildings (gee, why?) our friends around the world -- particularly in Dubai -- have not. (By the way, if you're curious about how the proposed new World Trade Center in New York stacks up, click here).
The website, which I happened across somehow, will allow searches by state. The tallest structure in Tennessee is in Knoxville, but as you'll see, it's kind of lame.
The buildigns pictured are fascinating. I watched a documentary on their construction once. The cross section of each of the towers is some special religious symbol or something like that, and the motif appears throughout the buildings' decor.
