Nine skyscrapers that have precariously perched cantilevers
Following last week's opening of the world's longest cantilever at One Za'abeel in Dubai, we've rounded up nine skyscrapers that are enlivened by dramatically suspended platforms, bridges and blocks.
Cantilevers are structural elements that typically extend horizontally from another volume and are only supported at one end, creating a striking gravity-defying visual effect.
Currently, the longest cantilever in the world measures 67.5 metres and projects out from between the two skyscrapers at One Za'abeel, a recently completed mixed-use development in Dubai. It narrowly takes the title from the observation deck at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, which extends by 66.5 metres. These two feats of engineering form part of our list, which spotlights nine skyscrapers ? buildings over 150 metres in height ? enlivened by precariously perched cantilevers.
