World's tallest buildings. All right, here we go. We're starting with the Leonardo, which is in Johannesburg
0:05
And it was built in 2019. It's the tallest building in Africa the whole of Africa
0:10
And this is the tallest building Yeah, I know that the 334 meters is pretty tall, but it doesn't look that tall does it
0:16
It's got some nice shrubbery down the bottom though. That's nice. Then we got Torres Obispeado
0:20
Tallest building in Latin America and then the Shard. Oh, did you see the way the Shard twinkled? That was nice. Watch it twinkle
0:26
Here we go. Oh, yeah. So, Shard, it was built in 2012, 309 meters tall
0:31
I think it's the third tallest building in Europe, and I think it's the tallest building in the UK
0:36
It's kind of cheating, though, isn't it? Because, like, look at the pointy bits at the top. Look at that. That bare glass adds, like, 30 meters
0:41
It just looks unfinished. It's just a wall. There's nothing behind it. Anyway, sorry, everyone
0:44
Okay, we've got our first building in America, Los Angeles, the US Bank Tower, followed by New York City's Chrysler Building
0:52
which was built in 1930. It's pretty high on the list for 1930. Q1 Tower is on the Gold Coast and is the tallest building in Oceania. So Gold Coast Australia, I assume
1:02
Then we got the Ryongong Hotel, which is still under construction. It's 330 meters. It looks insane
1:08
That is a very different kind of building to what we seen so far Next the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong built in 1990 Another really cool looking building Marina 101 Dubai Dubai is going to pop up on this list quite
1:20
a bit, I think. 1931, Empire State Building, formerly the tallest building in the world
1:26
back in 1931 anyway. Patronus? Like from Harry Potter? Let me change my glasses, hang on. All
1:32
right, here we go. That's in Kuala Lumpur. I don't know where that is. Okay, it's the capital
1:36
of malaysia do not tell me to learn the capital cities oh yes it's like if you peeled a banana
1:43
in reverse that's what that reminds me of all right next is oh what a lens flare can we see
1:48
that again watch the lens flare on this one ready oh yes metaball studios are incredible animators
1:54
by the way okay so we're now approaching nearly 500 meters tall which is absolutely insane shanghai
1:59
world financial center and then we finally hit 500 oh tai pai 101 they've cheated with this
2:06
Little spike look the Shanghai World Financial Center should definitely count as taller. That's cheating that is like the shard all over again
2:12
Then we got the Willis Tower adding a lot of height as well. Whoa China's on Beijing built in 2018
2:18
528 meters. Oh my god I just noticed the reflection of the next building appears as it spawns on the previous building watch it look at that Oh my god it so well animated So that North Tower also New York City So many of these in New York City Not as many as I expected in Dubai but maybe that be later in the list
2:35
Oh, another beautiful lens fire. That's the World Trade Center built in 2014
2:41
Oh, this is looking quite shardy, that one, isn't it? As in the shard UK
2:45
Shardy sounded weirder than I expected it to. So that's in Seoul 2016, the Lotte World Tower
2:50
Next is the Ping An IFC, which is in Shenzhen. Oh my god, just short of 600 meters when you point nine of a meter short of 600
2:58
You'd just shove a little pole on top of it, wouldn't you? Why did they leave it point nine of a meter short
3:02
These fellas didn't though and they've got a big clock as well. That is a mecca mecca. Is that in israel
3:08
Mecca city in saudi arabia not israel i'm wrong i'm sorry about that That is a really cool building and you can see it's by far the widest on the list as well so far
3:16
It's so different to all of the others It's just so much more traditional looking but it's only from 2012 shanghai tower. Whoa
3:21
There's the Burj Khalifa, but you might be thinking Jack the Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world
3:25
Why is the video not over yet? Well, we also have a bunch of future
3:30
Constructions these buildings that are plans but have not yet been built and as you can see they look insane
3:35
So that's in Dubai that one's in Tokyo That gonna be in Jeddah and this one they already started constructing it as well Oh this one got a lot of cool gold on it I like that God that looks absolutely mad Like 1 meters is insane Azerbaijan Tower 1 meters What the No way is that ever being built
3:54
Shanghai or Hong Kong, they haven't decided yet. What the-? They want to build that in Chicago
3:58
What the-? Oh my god, what's that? You only see this kind of building on an alien planet
4:03
2,000 meters tall, they want to build that in Tokyo. No way, that is ridiculous. Is that the last one
4:09
It must be. It is. Okay. Thank- Oh no, it isn't! Shumzu Mega City Pyramid. Tokyo need to calm down. How are they gonna fit that in? Tokyo's not that big
4:18
Dubai City Tower. They're really going for it. What the- Ultimate Tower. San Francisco. That's ridiculous. No, that- What? Oh my god
4:26
4,000 meters tall. It looks like a robot volcano. You can't build that. Look at these buildings down here
4:32
There surely is not enough space to construct that. Although there's a bunch of air gaps
4:35
Maybe they just build it over the top of pre-existing buildings and just like absolutely ruin their view
4:40
No way can that ever be built. Not another one. No Right, you're all you all need to calm down
4:46
10,000 meters tall god the architects in tokyo are mental. They need to chill out a bit
4:51
God, I can't believe that that is mad. Thank you very very much for watching incredible animation from metaball studios
