About List of tallest buildings and structures in brief
The world’s tallest artificial structure is the 829. 8-metre-tall Burj Khalifa in Dubai. The second-tallest self-supporting structure and the tallest tower in the world is the Tokyo Skytree. The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat recognizes a building only if at least 50% of its height is made up of floor plates containing habitable floor area. There are dozens of radio and television broadcasting towers which measure over 600 metres in height, and only the tallest are recorded in publicly available information sources. The Petronius Platform stands 610 m off the sea floor leading some, including Guinness World Records 2007, to claim it as the tallest freestanding structure. It is debated whether underwater height should be counted, in the same manner as height below ground is ignored on buildings. There can only be one structure in each category, unless the tallest is the same for the same category. For a list of the completed structures by function see the list of structures later in the article. The tallest structure by function is the tallest building in each of the structural categories below.
The list of completed structures for each structural category below is the highest height to top of antenna of any building at 527 m. A modern-day spire on top of a building is not considered part of its architectural height, while the spires on the top of Twin Towers are counted as part of the spire of the Twin Towers. The Willis Tower was the highest in the final category: the greatest height toTop of Antenna of Any Building in the World at 439.2° 640° 679° 688° 2° 9° 648° 678° 674° 676° 677° 672° 675° 673° 6776° 6777° 6774° 6787° 6758° 6756° 6757° 6797° 6786° 6798° 6792° 6776° 5797° 5787° 5776° 5777° 5774° 577° 4797° 4776° 476° 4774° 477° 3776° 2776° 3797° 37760° 478° 4758° 4790° 4798° 479° 3774° 3777° 4792° 4808° 4777° 3792° 3790° 3795° 4784° 47761° 4786° 3808° 3798° 3785° 4778° 4787° 378° 3758° 3796° 474° 3784° 377°478° 27767° 4796° 3685° 4685° 3696° 4696° 3778° 3704° 4698° 31978° 3779° 4704° 31976° 3698° 4708° 3 1978° 31974° 31977° 3 1977° 31979° 31980° 3720° 3278° 3708° 41978° 472° 3707° 4695° 4690° 3688° 4688° 3
