China leading race of world's Top 10 future skyscrapers

Hamburg, Germany (18 July 2012) - Skyscrapers around the world keep getting taller and taller. Currently, the world's 10 tallest future buildings have an average height of 566 meters -77 meters more than the ten highest skyscrapers completed in the last decade. With a height of 828 meters, only Burj Khalifa will keep its Number 1 position in the current Top 10 tallest list. Even the tenth highest building currently under construction at 510 meters is higher than the existing Number 2 with a height of "only" 508 meters.

Nine out of the ten future skyscrapers are located in Asia. Nevertheless, Dubai is no longer booming with construction, instead China is now leading the race with 6 of the 10 tallest skyscrapers currently being built followed by South Korea with two buildings in the list.

The architects Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) designed the 648-meter tall Ping An International Finance Center in Shenzhen with a staggering 116 floors. Once completed in 2015, it will be the world's second tallest building after Burj Khalifa. Northern China will be boasting the Goldin Finance 117 in Tianjin, CTF Tianjin Tower and the Dalian Greenland Center in the next four years.

Further along the coast, South Korea will soon feature two 500m+ new skyscrapers in Seoul and Busan. In fifth place, the 556-meter tall Lotte World Tower in Seoul by KPF will be 46 meters taller than the Busan Lotte Town Tower by Skidmore, Owings & Merill (SOM) upon completion. Overlooking the Busan harbour, Lotte Town Tower will be 510 meters tall with 110 floors.

In Saudi Arabia, the Makkah Clock Royal Tower is already topped out and overlooks Islam's holiest place, the Kaaba. Designed by Dar al-Handasah Shair & Partners, the 601-meter tall skyscraper is both a hotel and a shopping center.

The only 500m+ skyscraper currently under construction in the northern hemisphere is One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan. Even though the building has not yet reached its full height, it is already the tallest structure in New York. The 541-meter tall structure designed by SOM is at 6th place in the world's ranking and will be completed in 2013.

SOM and KPF are head to head in the race of building the tallest skyscrapers of the future - both companies have three projects that are currently under construction. Two projects currently on hold are India Tower in Mumbai, with a planned 720 meter height, by Foster + Partners, and the Pentominium, by Aedas, with a proposed height of 516 meters in Dubai. It is unknown whether either project will be completed.

Car Charity Donation Benefits

The Benefits of Car Charity Donation

If you are looking to make a great donation to a charity, a car charity donation is surely the way to go. There are so many benefits that come with a vehicle donation. This article will go over some of the great benefits that come along with a car charity donation.

First of all, donating your car to a charity is a lot easier than trying to sell your car on your own. You do not have to sit around waiting for someone to be interested in the car. You also don’t have to worry about finding a place to list your car or the fees some places charge you just to sell your car. Donating your car to a charity will allow you to save some of the time and effort it takes to sell a car.

Another benefit that comes along with donating your vehicle is that you will be able to do something for a good cause. They are many car charity donation places out there that have great causes. You could choose which charity you want to donate your car to for a great cause. Your car will be put toward a better cause instead of just putting a few extra dollars in your pocket.

Finally, a car charity donation could be a tax write off. This will help you when it comes to filing your taxes. You simply fill out a form and find the fair market value for your car. Just make sure that you get proof that you donated your vehicle and the condition it was in the time you donated it. You may be able to write off a substantial amount of money when you do a car charity donation.

As you could see donating your car to charity has many advantages. So, if you have a car you want to get rid of make sure you look up the car charity donation centers near you.
