I work in this unequal tower twin... http://www.colliers.com/Content/Atta...SBankPlaza.jpg I'm posting this from within the taller one right now! And these two are right across the street... http://ll.bizjournals.com/cre/listing/twincities/746085 |
Seattle's Westin Hotel. Two cylinders. First tower 40-stories, 1960 or so. Second tower 44 stories, 1982. Love 'em. Maybe someone will post a photo.
The Tacoma Narrows Bridge, with its second span currently under construction, is another example. Two large suspension bridges. The old one was built soon after the original "galloping gertie" fell in high wind. |
Icon Towers in Edmonton. Icon I = 30 stories, Icon II = 35 stories.
Trying to think of any others in this city. |
One Liberty and Two Liberty in Philadelphia.....

Kinda hard to see them; They're owned by the local media conglomofuck to send the signals of their TV and Radio stations in their lovely state imposed monopoly. :) The one on the left is 300m and painted white/aviation orange, the one on the right is 366m and bare steel until about 310m, where an extension is painted white/aviation orange. And then in Calgary.. http://www.cubik.ca/~luke/Flightarou.../downtown3.jpg Well, everything has a twin in that picture. |
Here's a pic of Liberty I & Liberty II

Alpha, almost none of the structures you posted could be considered "twins". They are simply antenna complexes with different structures serving different purposes.

Unequal towers are all the rage in new San Francisco condo buildings. here are the two examples under constuction now but more are planned:

San Fran has another notorious group of twins, or whatever you want to call the number, in the Embarcedero Center:

Might as well give Oakland a shout out too:
Oakland Federal Building http://sweets.construction.com/mfg/668/E18946.jpg And there's the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in SF which is sort of a twin sprouts from a single tower: http://e.yimg.com/tr.us.o.yimg.com/i...8_EXT_01_J.jpg |

The twins of Oakland Federal Building look identic. Are they not of the same construction type?
