Topic Reading-Vol.567-10/30/2013

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Are we on the brink of the first mile-high building?
How high would you like to live, work or shop in? How low would you like to look down the streets from your residence? Or how close would you like to be to the sky?
Tall buildings or sky scrapers don’t seem to be enough to describe how tall a building is, like a millionaire doesn’t seem to be rich enough these days ever since numbers of billionaires emerged. So, new up-scaled terms have been created like super-tall skyscraper for towers over 300 meters or higher and mega-talls for ones 600 meters or higher. What’s next? A mile-high?
And you might think how you would go up and down within such a tall building? How long it would take to get down to the street for work or to get up to the office a few hundred meters above?
Enjoy reading and learning about present and future landmark skyscrapers.
