HISTORY OF THE WORLD'S TALLEST BUILDINGS (Since the 20th Century)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 янв 2017
- The skyscraper was invented in Chicago in 1884. For the next hundred years, the world's tallest building was always in the United States with New York City accumulating 87 years, and Chicago accumulating 30 years. After just over a century (1885-1998) the distinction moved to the Eastern Hemisphere. Malaysia was the first country to break United States's record of building tallest buildings in the world by building Petronas Twin Towers in 1998, which held the record for 6 years before losing it to Taipei 101 in 2004. Before the current era of commercial skyscrapers, there was an era where the tallest buildings were Christian churches/cathedrals (c. 1250-1901), dominated by England and Germanic territories.
The earliest structures now known to be the tallest in the world were the Egyptian pyramids, with the Great Pyramid of Giza, at an original height of 146.5 metres (481 ft), being the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years, until the construction of Lincoln Cathedral in 1300. From then until the completion of the Washington Monument (capped in 1884) the world's tallest buildings were churches or cathedrals. Later, the Eiffel Tower and, still later, some radio masts and television towers were the world's tallest structures.
However, though all of these are structures, some are not buildings in the sense of being regularly inhabited or occupied. It is in this sense of being regularly inhabited or occupied that the term "building" is generally understood to mean when determining what is the world's tallest building. The non-profit international organization Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), which maintains a set of criteria for determining the height of tall buildings, defines a "building" as "(A) structure that is designed for residential, business or manufacturing purposes" and "has floors".
Since 2010, Burj Khalifa has been the tallest building by any criteria. It has the highest architectural element, tip and occupied floor, and is indeed the tallest structure of any kind ever built, surpassing the (now destroyed) 646.38 metres (2,120.7 ft) Warsaw Radio Mast.
Since the completion of the Washington Monument in 1884, the world's tallest building has not usually also been the world's tallest structure. The exceptions are 1930-1954, when the Chrysler Building and then the Empire State building surpassed the Eiffel Tower (to be surpassed in turn by a succession of broadcast masts, starting with the Griffin Television Tower in Oklahoma), and from 2010 with the completion of Burj Khalifa.

Malaysia, the first to beat USA and the first tallest building in Asia. so proud
Arif Zulhelmi Technically Malaysia cheated with its spires...
The Pinnacle : Asian people are smarter..
The Pinnacle respect malaysia from usa
Standing on the top floor of the Sears Willis tower you would look down on someone standing on the top floor of the Petronas Towers..
The towers are beautiful and tall yes it's just that the spire gave them the record.
They should count up to the roof of the towers cuz when u look at those twin towers it's just disappointing considering they look so much smaller than the Sears tower
World Trade Center behind wool worth building
The city hall was the first building
I live in Philadelphia and the city hall was and still big star in the middle
Chhin Sam There is no "first building" Humans have been building buildings since the beginning of civilization. Unless you're referring to skyscraper, in which case it also isn't. That title goes to the Home Insurance Building in Chicago
Proud Chicagoan He was probably just talking about the first in the video
Now it's the 23rd tallest building in Philadelphia!
@@alexg7705 I think he was referring to the first building in the video. So tired of people from Chicago whining about how they are dissed by NYC in regards to Skyscraper height. I guess nothing else to think about in the midwest.
me gustó mucho el vídeo, bien presentado, felicitaciones
¡Gracias!

The twin tower still hold no.1 tallest “TWIN" tower in the world!
Yes.
Yayayayya
Nearly all of them were in New York City
What's with the wedding music? Oh, and there is a 103rd floor in the Empire State Building is used mainly for maintenance of the antenna on the top of the building. It's about the size of a small bedroom and it contains an internet server. Guests need special access in order to go up there.

World trade center 1973-2001
They were built in 1972.
The Empire State Building and chrsyler building where interchanged
We need the tallest building to be in new York again
iApple os no, we need it to be in Chicago, as it's the home of the skyscraper and it has the most beautiful skyline in the US.
Maybe both Chicago and New York?
Fun fact: The tallest building befor 1900 was the cologne cathedral.
PS: The cologne cathedral had the longest build time for a building!
632 years!
The tallest building in the United States is in NEW YORK CITY and that's the Freedom Tower/world trade center.
No. The tower is only a bit over 1300 feet, but that spire shouldn't count because it's not actually part of the building and you can't go inside it. Willis tower is above 1400 feet and with their lighting rods makes it over 1730 feet tall.
Xonical using that logic than the burj khalifa shouldnt be the tallest on the planet because only the first 1,900 feet are occupied. They're no real floors for the other 800 feet
cory dan actually, the Willis tower is. It towers over One World Trade Center and in terms of roof height and tallest observation floor, is taller than One World Trade Center. Not to mention, New Pork Shitters played dirty. They built the antenna on top of the One Word Trade Center and added the little tip on top convincing people it was a "spire" when in fact they never put on the spire casing making it technically an antenna and giving the Willis Tower it's rightful place as #1
Being to NYC, the Chrysler building is more impressive than the new WTC 1 anyways.
Aidan
It would still be the tallest as no other building is taller in that metric either, however, it only edges second place by 3 or 4 feet, I personally like spires but Burj Khalifa is pushing it, a third of the building's height is an spire ffs.
3 is the most beautiful from this list.😍
I missed your video
Almost all the buildings were in the USA
malaysia walaupun rendah dari burj khalifa tetapi dia ada 2 bangunan
ikhmal danial so?
maksud nya dia lagi susah nk dibina sbb ada 2
cuba dua kali gandakan, lagi tinggi dari burj khalifa
ikhmal danial patut menara kembar dikira tggi dan saiz tapak jgk sbb smua menara satu je tp klcc ada kembar...menara kembar klcc plg tggi di dunia
ikhmal danial tambah pulak dgn kl tower cantung jd 3
America 💕💖
1:35 Look behind of the Woolworth Tower....
BIN BIN BOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG

You forgot an important thing about Chrysler building, it was the first building in the world to be more then 1,000 feet
Mh. Feet never matter( anyways). Meters matter.

*does an Indian laugh*
Omg ;-;
Y'all forgot about the CN tower it held the record for the tallest structure for like 3 decades
The CN Tower 1,815.3 ft held the record for the world's tallest free-standing structure for 32 years until 2007 when it was surpassed by the Burj Khalifa and was the world's tallest tower until 2009 when it was surpassed by the Canton Tower.
The CN tower isn't considered as a skyscraper it is considered as a structure.
Their are so many in New York City my home

The top of the State Building's antenna exceeds the Sears Tower's roof by a full 1.1 meters. Other than that it is taller than the Empire State Building in every regard.
no because thats an antenna but then pinnacle height wise it also isnt taller because the sears tower has an antenna too
