In this week's comments update, readers debate our pick of the top 10 skyscrapers of 2017, and what it says about the future of tall-building design.

Duckusucker described a pair of "dancing" towers by SHoP Architects as the best of the bunch. "Looks like Asia has most of the action, but I'd give the Oscar to the off-kilter Manhattan one," he said.
Kaloyan Stoychev thought it had been a disappointing time for tall towers: "What a bad year for skyscrapers." "What a bad year, period,"  added Eugene Ely. Nimdoorquoi seemed perplexed by the need for the list: "I don't really understand why Dezeen gets so excited about skyscrapers."

This reader put forward a last-minute wildcard entry for the top 10:
