Here at The Long Now we’re always interested in large-scale, ambitious architecture projects, partly because, of course, designing and building the 10,000-year Clock of the Long Now offers a few large-scale challenges of its own.
An article in the London Times this week offers a profile of some of the grandest, most iconic buildings currently on drawing boards, in pipelines, and increasingly, on skylines, around the world:

This is a boom time for architecture. Dubai, Beijing, Shanghai and Moscow are staking their claim to a place on the architectural stage, with no absurdity too extreme. Revolving, iPod-shaped and half-mile high buildings are going up everywhere.

Comparision of Tall Buildings
The worlds tallest skyscrapers, and the question came to mind, how is it that the wind doesnt topple them over? Is the foundation about as deep as the height? Would you feel the building swaying a little? I say that mostly because of the "Al Burj". It's supposed to top the Burj Dubai in height, and that seems a bit ridiculously tall.
