Out of all of the fascinating buildings around the world, the Tokyo Skytree has always stuck out as one of the most compelling skyscrapers. The Tokyo Skytree is located in Tokyo, Japan and became the countries tallest structure upon its completion in 2010 at 2,080 feet. Despite hitting this height, the building didn’t open officially until 2012. In the building, there are only two real floors, which are used as observation decks. There is one at 410 feet high and one at 1,230 feet high. It has become a symbol for Tokyo and has rapidly became one of the most popular tourist destinations in Japan.
As you can imagine, the architecture and design of this building is quite unique and unlike any other building. The Skytree only has two actual sets of floors, and the rest of it is only standing due to its interesting organization of steel poles that connect the building all the way to its antenna on the top. The steel poles are made in a triangular design, which creates the best base in order for a building of that nature to be able to stand so high in the sky. The Tokyo Skytree really stands out in its location. It is surrounded by an abundance of regular buildings, none of which have heights anywhere close to the Skytree, providing a phenomenal view from both observation decks where it feels like you can see the whole world in the distance. Overall, the Tokyo Skytree’s unique design makes it one of the most intriguing and compelling skyscrapers in the world.
