- This seems like a simple question, take two skyscrapers, like the petronas towers in Malaysia or the Sears Tower (Willis Tower) in Chicago and tell me which one is taller? But this questions has been dividing people for decades. #shorts #architecture

“My hair counts to my height but yours doesn’t, shorty.”
Yeah
He meant that the ones on the building in Chicago are detachable so not technically part of the building and the antennas on top of the building in Taiwan are part of the building so I agree with how it doesn’t make sense
It's like a wig vs natural hair
So basically it's a wig, but if the person doesn't have a wig this sentence doesn't make sense
Technically every building is detachable from the ground and itself. That "wig" is more like a follicle transplant.

As a Chicago native I'm more outraged that it's no longer the Sears Tower.
There was a planned building called "the Illinois" that would be by far the largest in the world. There are blueprints for it and everything they just never built it.
@@whenisdinner2137I think that 'mile high' building was originally designed by Frank Lloyd wright.
The United States actually has a maximum 2,000 ft max height for any structure. Probably lobbied by the FAA at some point... So until that changes, there is no chance the US can exceed the Burj Khalifa.
And you can put whatever name on the lease. It's the Sears Tower dammit.
I always call it willis, why does anyone care.
@@tortellinifettuccinebecause of tradition. It was sears until sears broke up.
@ETHAN F here's the thing. It was a corporation, one that took advantage of you, ESPECIALLY chicogians. Why respect a corporation by calling something by its name? I'm a Chicagoian too, and I grew up on Sears Tower, too, but once Sears died, thank God, and willis took it. Willis is also a corporation, no different, but at least that's the actual official name, so calling it sears to me just seems like corporate bootlicking. And as it turns out, the people that get mad at me for calling it willis tower usally are corporate boot lickers.
So basically, i could add a big ass spike on my house and break the world record?
They really went with the spiked hat increases my height logic

Sears tower, it has the highest total height from base to the highest point it reaches I the sky.

The antennas count in my book. If it's made not to fall down in a breeze, it's a part of the structure

I would kinda disagree. In my opinion, I think the tallest building has the highest occupyable floor.

Besides, I don't really count the eiffel tower as a building really, since it's not a structure that's used regularly by people. I mean, how many occupyable floors does it have? If any, whats the highest floor?
Of course I recognize that the eiffel tower IS a building by definition. But honestly, I was referring to the left building in the short.

Sears tower is taller when the antenna's are up and the other is taller when the antenna's are down
2nd one, the first one is technically bigger but the difference is that the antenna on the first building are detachable and thus a separate part of the building while the antennas on the 2nd one are a part of the building itself
Doesn't really matter if the antennas are removable imo. If the compensatory sticks on one building count, so do the ones on another regardless of purpose.

Yeah and they act like removable means you can just unplug it and you’re good. I’m sure it would take a pretty large operation to remove them.
If you're going to count removable objects as the height of a building, I could literally have two identical (in height) buildings next to each other, stand on the roof, and claim the one I'm standing on is higher, because "the top of my head is above the roof of the other building".
and yes, it counts. Just because I'm a "removable object", doesn't mean it should be included, right?

Otherwise counting the antennas you might as well count the air that rests on the building too. Occupied floor is all that matters.

Used and occupied are two different things. A building can have a large room with super high ceilings in the top, it's still very much part of the building even though it's not occupied. Or it could have unoccupied space for building equipment, like HVAC, and it's still part of the building.
