I went for the shard because I'm racist.
Also I though new Yorks replacement for the world trade centre twin towers was supposed to be the tallest in the world?

That photo is taken a minute's walk from where I work. I see it every day too so will be great to see it completed.
Shard looks the best. That's not me being biased, it just does.

Is it North Korea that has that massive hotel that wasn't ever finished and just stands as a reminder that they are a failing, poor nation?

I voted for the Pentominium because it looks like something out of Mass Effect.

I for one don't support any of these, just for the headache the poor engineers will have to go through.
The Pentominium through and through though. Looks like the Combine Citadel.

I voted for the Burj al Kalifa, because it's just a mentally tall spike in the desert. Bravo you crazy Arabs

I went for the Mumbai Tower as it's elegant and graceful while being fairly minimalist and also it looks a bit like a long space ship
