Extractions: Skyscrapers of The New Millennium San Francisco International Airport's Kadish Gallery features a visual tour of architectural landmarks from various international urban environments touchstones in the continuing history of the significant building type that is the skyscraper. Skyscrapers prompt a range of emotions in us from fear to fascination. We have been intrigued with these buildings since they were first built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Most of us still view these buildings with awe and pride. The Kadish Gallery exhibit features some the newest skyscrapers in the world in Tokyo, London, and New York, cities we would expect, and as far a field as Pulau Pinang, Manila, Montevideo, and Bonn. The international rivalry to build the world's tallest building is still ongoing as contenders threaten to take the title away from the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which was declared the record setter in 1996. New York City's Empire State Building had previously held the world's tallest crown for 41 years, followed by the Sears Tower in Chicago for 22 years. The gallery exhibit also looks at new structural systems, ecological concerns, and smaller high-rise buildings. The Samsung Togok Tower, a high-rise residential project with hotel/conference center is slated for Seoul, Korea. It will contain 236 residential furnished rental units and 421 condominiums. The complex will also include a large park to the south, a sports club, business center, restaurants, retail shops, and a 'sky garden.'
