Thread: King Edward Tower

    I read this definition:

    multi-storied building constructed on steel skeleton, combining extraordinary height with ordinary rooms such as would be found in low buildings, the term originated in the United States in the later 1880s after buildings in New York reached ten stories
    I think 'Harry' is just being a pedant.

    In case anybody doesn't know, the Royal Liver Building was the tallest office building in Europe until after the Second World War.
    It's a pity Liverpool's planners aren't as forward thinking now, as they were 100 years ago.
    And the definition of a skyscraper is about the same as the definition of a length of a piece of string.
    I've seen a postcard of Manhattan's skyline in about 1907 which mentions skyscrapers.

    the sort of thing the council has talked about in its layered or tier approach.
    its certainly iconic.

    I agree it's very impressive. About time too.

    My only criticism is that it's yet another bloody bar code facade.

    The 14th floor features a massive skybar and restaurant spread over almost 600 square metres that will be accessed by an exclusive express lift and offer 360 degree views of the whole of Liverpool from within.

    At a rough guess about 550 feet.

    It certainly looks stunning.
    It has to be said that Beetham West and Unity have a rather dated look.

    If plans get the go ahead, the tower will stand 170m (558ft) and 54 storeys tall by the Princes Dock development

    The tower has been designed by architects Leach Rhodes Walker (LRW), who say they have taken into account Liverpool's World Heritage status
