𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝗸𝘆𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿? 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲. Tall, high-rise, skyscraper, supertall, megatall crazy tall – you’d be forgiven for feeling confused. We often use these terms interchangeably when describing structures that are notable for their height, but there is in fact a difference between buildings which just happen to be tall and true “skyscrapers”. The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) in fact defines four categories – Tall Buildings, Skyscrapers, Supertall Skyscrapers and Megatall Skyscrapers. Check out this insightful article and video from The B1M to discover the difference between them. (link in comments)
