Notes

Obayashi Corp, a Japanese construction firm, is in the habit of breaking records. In less than three years they built the Tokyo Sky Tree, Japan’s tallest structure, and one nearly double the height of the previous record holder, Tokyo Tower. The Sky Tree being a few hundred feet shy of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, must have served as some serious competitive motivation, as Obayashi has now revealed that they won’t stop at three, or even four thousand feet.
