加拿大56层大厦外观似梦露获评最佳(高清组图)
加拿大米西索加的大厦“绝对世界塔”(Absolute World Towers)外观酷似好莱坞女星玛丽莲·梦露的沙漏型身材，其从参赛的来自世界各地的300多栋大厦中脱颖而出，被评为年度摩天大楼。这座位于加拿大多伦多附近的摩天大厦高入云霄175米，由6名建筑设计师设计建造。仅从外观上看，它们拥有梦露般苗条的身材，外形十分地独特，因而被人们亲切地称为“建筑界中的玛丽莲·梦露”。两栋并排的塔楼皆有56层高，从低部到顶部角度之差有209度。一位参与评审的专家说道：“这两栋建筑每相邻的一层都有8度之差，这不仅仅是一次建筑技术上的突破，还是一次对一成不变的高楼建筑模式的创新。”
在今年的年度摩天大厦评选中，被评为第二位的是阿拉伯联合酋长国首都阿布扎比的安巴尔塔(Al Bahr Towers)。该塔高约45米，在半透明的建筑立面上还可以进行太阳能发电。而高约238米，造价约8000万英镑(约合人民币7.79亿元)的坐落于巴基斯坦的布尔季·卡塔尔大厦(Burj Qatar)在此次评选中位列第三。除此之外，在此次年度帝国大厦名单上高度位列第一的是位于中国广州的珠江大厦，这栋有71层的建筑实际高度约有310米。
