Name a city with a better skyline than Sao Paulo. I'll wait.

[BonafideDefacto]

Post some buildings that meet this characteristics.

I'll start off with Dubai, no need to post pictures. Theres not a city in the world outside of NYC that's put more emphasis in the dynamic engineering of its buildings . I'll continue with NYC, no photos necessary.

Let's start off with the least talked about city. Aesthetically, the most beautiful city I've seen from the Outside looking in. San Francisco. To understand what I'm talking about look at this...

Shanghai (A pic I personally took)

Hong Kong

I'll even throw in a Skyline that most don't know about... Gold Coast, Australia. Not in front of Chi to me, but amazing given its location to the beach

Ok, I know what these skylines look like. I've lived in Chicago, New York, London, and Hong Kong.

The question is specific, so I need you to point out specific buildings.

Since you posted Hong Kong and I lived in Mid Levels for a short stint, what building(s) exemplifies "architectural grandeur"? Or are you just using this phrase to describe skylines in totality?

Meh

Osaka

Tokyo

Been to both. Retarded views over there.

I thought it was more black people there than other parts of Brazil?

I read there’s some bad black chicks out there too.

This isn’t true?

Sao Paulo is only 20% Black. Decent but not the majority.

Been kinda obsessed with Steinway Tower.

Been kinda obsessed with Steinway Tower.

I’d be terrified to live there. I know they probably have it secured but I’ll still be worried about a strong wind knocking it over

Another one is 432 Park.



A rather bland exterior design but the units *look amazing.




There's an asterisk there because buildings like 432 and Steinway are beset with a host of problems.

There is a slight downside to living among the clouds. The dimensions of the tower make it highly susceptible to swaying – as much as 3 feet (0.9 meters) – when hit by high winds. Some visitors have complained of severe nausea because of the swaying.

Forced during lockdown actually to live in the apartments they had bought (for prices ranging between $7m and $88m), some residents of 432 Park Avenue found that life in the sky was not as glamorous as it sounds. The building creaked like a ship, one resident complained; the rubbish chute sounded ‘like a bomb’; and the extreme height of the mechanical floors has caused pipes to rupture and, on occasion, flood. In October 2019, one resident was trapped inside a lift for nearly an hour and a half.

In a complaint filed Thursday, the condo board at 432 Park Avenue alleges the 96-floor skyscraper overlooking Central Park is “riddled” with more than 1,500 construction and design defects in the common areas alone, many of which are described as “life safety issues.”

According to the board, shoddy workmanship and poor planning has led to flooding, stuck elevators, electrical explosions, and “horrible and obtrusive noise and vibration” caused by building sway.

They're nice to look at but you couldn't pay me to live there.

With new constructions like these, you can't be the first to move into them. You'll be the first to experience all the problems, then have a hard time selling when the problems get out in the press.

It's so freaking overwhelming to the senses. I feel like I'll be if I ever visit there.

Shanghai is kinda cool tho.

Between their canopener building, 70s bong looking building, twisted towel building, and the waterfront it works really well
