Shanghai Tower – Source: storyone.com
The following two lists identify the tallest cylindrical or at least “nearly cyclonical” towers both globally and in the United States. Such designs were much more common here in the United States back in the late 20th century, while they continue to be quite popular elsewhere in the 21st century. As alway, please feel free to pass along any additions, corrections, or suggestions to this list.
Peace!
