The exhibition focuses on buildings built between 2001 and 2016 that are taller than the Empire State Building (100 stories plus) &#8211; a total of 48 projects worldwide. Lamster notes, &#8220;The irony is that these supertall buildings are designed to be iconic, memorable signs for the cities that build them, but their similarity works against that desire, and instead we seem to be creating placeless modern places that look great in ads for luxury automobiles.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Image from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/places.designobserver.com\/feature\/supertall-exhibition-at-the-skyscraper-museum\/30138\/\">Places:Design Observer<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><\/em><em>For more stories from around the planet, check out Spacing on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Spacing\/111174192229238\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/Spacing\">Twitter<\/a>.\u00a0 Do you have an Urban Planet worthy article you&#8217;d like to share?
