A little more perspective

The Skyscraper Center lists both architectural height and tip height at 508 meters. For this building those endpoints coincide, so the complete visible outline matches the architectural comparison.

Its repeated flared sections make a very different silhouette from the tapered One World Trade Center. Put the two on the same baseline to separate the visual rhythm of the facade from the measured difference in height.

Quick facts

Taipei 101 reaches 508 meters with its spire. The stacked tower’s roof and occupied floors sit below that architectural endpoint.
