We don’t necessarily “need” a lot of our threads, but there’s no reason not to. It helps to keep the conversation focused on megatalls. ---

My guess is how big the spires are. One WTC is more thin, and Merdeka 118 definitely has a thicker spire ---

> **[Twisting megatall skyscraper would soar over Saint Petersburg](https://newatlas.com/architecture/kettle-lakhta-center-two-proposal/)** > > UK firm Kettle Collective has unveiled its plan for what could become the world's second-tallest skyscraper if realized. Named the Lakhta Center II, the twisting tower is envisioned for Saint Petersburg, Russia, and would reach a height of 703 m. This is never going to get built. But here was the preliminary proposal for a megatall Lakhta Center 2 in St. Petersburg, the one people care about not the one in FL. Obviously the design is rough. ---
