      Can’t stand everyone pushing these new wallets. As a banker can’t stand people destroying their money and checks then expecting our machines to accept them, and personally don’t like that there’s no photo spots. If you really want to shrink your wallet then go all digital. I’d like to see better traditional wallets.

    Honestly the most interesting one was the Tower of Life from Senegal. It seemed to have actual passive green technologies, while rest were just wasteful buildings that were greenwashed using typical add ones like solar panels etc.

    It's an interesting list, though most of them haven't been built yet (the title and description imply that the buildings exist). The Spiral is the one building in this list that I don't feel is particularly strange and including it at #3 seems pretty odd considering the other candidates.

    The strongest buildings in the world are engineering marvels that showcase human innovation and durability. These structures are built to withstand the harshest of natural forces and provide a sense of safety and stability for their occupants. From the Burj Khalifa's impressive height to the Hoover Dam's resilience against water pressure, these buildings are a testament to our ability to conquer the elements and push the boundaries of construction.

    The Strada residential tower in south London had wind turbines as a feature on the roof.
    After a few weeks they turned them off and have never spun since (as far as I'm aware).
    Who would have thought people don't want to listen to the drumming sound of a turbine all day and night

      New York City is constructing a hotel tower with an observation tower/vertical drop tower on top of it. The address of the building is 740 8th Ave. There is also the uniquely designed Penn 15 (yes that is the actual name), the new JPMorgan headquarters at 240 Park Ave with an interesting base, Tower Fish, with its interesting observation deck layout, 80 Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn, and a couple interesting waterfront twisted towers, also in Brooklyn ( next to the Domino Sugar Factory redevelopment site).

    Bit of a mistake for Vancouver ... you were showing images of Bjarke Ingels Vancouver House when you were talking about the Alberni. The latter is overlooking Coal Harbour but the former is on the other side of downtown overlooking False Creek. You should do a segment on the Ingels tower though as it's pretty amazing!

    So many shots of Vancouver House were shown on the segment of the Alberni I thought the two had been mixed up. Maybe they were? Vancouver House is skyscraper next to the Granville bridge on the north side of False creek, that has won several awards including CTBUH's Best Tall Building Worldwide in 2021. Coal harbour (the view of which the Alberni is designed not to block) is on the other side of Vancouver's downtown.

      It may be like The Oasis Towers but it is really ugly from outside of the development where The Oasis Towers are actually pleasing to the eye. If they actually include the vegetation as depicted, that is. Otherwise it will look like crap as shown in The Valley in Amsterdam comparing artists renditions vs real life execution.
