10 Highest Buildings in the World

Height and creating the biggest or tallest building has fascinated man for centuries. During the 20th century the United States gradually became the dominant builder with buildings such as the Empire State Building, the Twin Towers, the KVLY-TV Mast, the Chrysler Building and the Sears Towers being but a few that had held the record as the world’s tallest man-made structure.

Since the 1990s Asia has come forward as the new leader with record breaking buildings being built in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and China. Their dominance however was short lived with the United Arab Emirates making sure that Dubai is squarely placed on the world map as the #1 place in the world for the most unusual building and now it also claims the world’s tallest man-made structure.
