JEDDAH TOWER in Chicago: A Visual Experience (4K HDR - No Commentary)

Описание: How would the world's first 1-kilometer skyscraper look against the legendary skyline of Chicago? This third installment of the series explores the scale of the Jeddah Tower by placing it alongside the architectural icons of the city that birthed the skyscraper.

[The Connection]
It’s a homecoming of sorts: the Jeddah Tower was designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG), a firm deeply rooted in Chicago’s engineering legacy.

[Technical Note: Height Methodology]
For this comparison, I have used Tip Height (Antennas and spires included). While I personally value "Roof Height" as a more honest representation of a building's usable scale, I’ve chosen to follow CTBUH criteria to show the full vertical reach of these icons.
