The Newest Wonders of the world!
9 – The Shanghai Tower
While the Shanghai Tower isn’t technically the tallest building in the world, it is the building in the world with the tallest usable floor. The tower is the world’s second-tallest building by height to the architectural top. That’s to say, people can actually take an elevator go to those high floors and experience it for themselves. More on the elevator in a minute.
The Shanghai Tower is a 632-metre (2,073 ft), 127-storey mega tall skyscraper in Shanghai, of course. The building sports the world’s highest observation deck within a building or structure. The deck opened to the public just recently in July of 2016.
One of the coolest things about this building is that it contains the world’s fastest elevators. These elevators can zip up those 127 stories at speeds of up to 20.5 meters per second! This skyscraper officially has the Guinness World Record for the fastest elevator, tallest elevator in a building and the fastest double-deck elevator.
8 – Guggenheim Museum
The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain is one of the most admired works of contemporary architecture. The museum was the building most frequently named as one of the most important works completed since 1980 in the 2010 World Architecture Survey.
The Guggenheim museum was opened as part of a revitalization effort for the city of Bilbao. Almost immediately after its opening, the Guggenheim became an extremely popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the globe. In its first three years, almost 4 million tourists visited the museum, helping to generate about €500 million in economic activity. The regional council estimated that the money visitors spent on hotels, restaurants, shops and transport allowed it to collect €100 million in taxes, which more than paid for the building cost of the colossal museum.
The building has been so influential, that it’s even spawned a new phrase for architecture and cultural critics: The Bilbao effect. Since the museum doors opened in 1997, it’s been hailed as one of the most important buildings of the 20th century. Now with over two decades of success, the museum has displayed over a hundred exhibitions and has welcomed more than 10 million visitors.
7 – Floating Houses of Amsterdam
Building on land is one story. Building on water is something different altogether. The Netherlands has a history of living close to water and of coping with water’s endless difficulties. Only recently have floating homes been eligible as a significant solution to Holland’s modern housing needs.
Canals with houseboats are of course a familiar sight in Dutch cities and one may find the occasional floating hotel or restaurant. But these are always individual units and bear more resemblance to boats than to houses.
In recent years, however, there has been an increase in the number of water-based housing developments that share more characteristics with land-based housing. These floating dwellings form part of an urban design. The new water-based developments can incorporate several forms of living with the water. Besides floating homes, they may include amphibious homes and homes that stand free of the water on mounds, dykes or other waterside situations. The IJburg district of Amsterdam is to have complete floating neighborhoods, with jetties instead of paved footpaths and city plazas.
