what is part of the building?
Here's a question, guys. What, exactly, is part of the building?
Let me give you an example. We are considering 360 to be 562' tall, but the last 100' is a spire and a pointed antenna. Without that, it's about 465'. But we use the 562'?
The Tower of the Americas is listed as 622' in the almanacs, but this is the roof - the antenna reaches 750'. So why is the Tower listed as 622, but 360 is listed as 562'. What is the deciding factor as to what exactly is the "height" of the building.
Another example - the Sears Tower has higher floors than the Petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur, but the spires on the latter made it taller. But it is really?
What is the convention?
