10 Tallest Skyscrapers in the World Compared

Alvaro Gracia Montoya of MetaBallStudios made this amazing 3D animation that compares the sizes of the 10 tallest skyscrapers in the world and upcoming future projects. Each of the buildings was picked according to criteria that exclude specific rooftop structures.

The chosen size is up to the tip, includes antennas. The video includes the 10 tallest buildings currently (complete buildings), the rest are elected subjectively. In the list are not included, structures as giant antennas, telecommunications towers, statues or monuments. Only buildings, skyscrapers and vertical cities.

Montoya employed a familiar reference point to present the comparison.
