Skyscraper - This is not necessarily a gray rectangular box made of glass and concrete. Modern architects demonstrate the wonders of ingenuity by erecting multi-meter buildings of the most incredible forms.

  • 3. Kingdom Center, Riyadh
  • 2. Turning Torso, Malmo

4. Torres de Hercules, Andalusia

The height of the two towers, united by a glazed passage, is 126 meters. The attention to the skyscraper is attracted by the unusual concrete decor of the facade, which is a pattern with the phrase “Non Plus Ultra” encrypted in it (nowhere else).
