Cool pics... Some of them look like they are from Coruscant.

What I am thinking is would you want to work in a building that tall, for safety reasons and such..

Jenga Architecture! Now lets see, if there's an earth quake and I remove the bottom building, how many buildings collapse with the rest of the structure?

Very unique architecture, but I hope Singapore doesn't experience earthquakes! It just seems like the design would have a domino effect. I would think building stability would have some say in the judging.

Beautiful buildings. I've always aspired to live in a modern style home. I love the architecture of "the bride" tower that's going to be built in Iraq that shade canopy looks so cool.
