It was built a few years ago as test facility for elevators, but has also become wow a touristic attraction as it offers a publicly accessible platform.
- cydonian_monk 6y agoThat's actually a rather nice looking building. I suspect if something was built here in the States for a similar purpose, not only would it not have such an attractive exterior, but it almost certainly wouldn't have public access. Most of our office skyscrapers aren't even open to the public as it is.
