As for high rise buildings, these are generally above six floors or stories in height. Also, most high rise buildings are 100 meters in height. (These should not be confused with “skyscrapers,” which are generally much taller, as little or as much, as 200 meters in height.
A high-rise building is a tall building, as opposed to a low-rise building and is defined differently in terms of height depending on the jurisdiction. It is used as a residential, office building, or other functions including hotel, retail, or with multiple purposes combined.

Postmodern architecture is a reaction and evolution to the modern architecture that came before it. Not only did designers begin to make use of new innovations, but at the same time they appropriated design elements from the past. Buildings became an eclectic mix of old and new as the old "Form follows function" mantra was forgotten. One of the iconic postmodern examples is the Sony Building in New York City.
As with many cultural movements, some of postmodernism's most pronounced and visible ideas can be seen in architecture. The functional and formalized shapes and spaces of the modernist movement are replaced by aesthetics: form is adopted for its own sake, and new ways of viewing familiar styles and space abound.
Classic examples of modern architecture are the Lever House and the Seagram Building in commercial space, and the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright or the Bauhaus movement in private or communal spaces.
Transitional examples of postmodern architecture are the Portland Building in Portland, Oregon and the Sony Building in New York City, which borrows elements and references from the past and reintroduces color and symbolism to architecture.

High-tech architecture, also known as Late Modernism or Structural Expressionism, is an architectural style that emerged in the 1970s, incorporating elements of high-tech industry and technology into building design.
High-tech architecture appeared as a revamped modernism , an extension of those previous ideas helped by even more technological advances.
This category serves as a bridge between modernism and post-modernism ; there remain gray areas as to where one category ends and the other begins. In the 1980s, high-tech architecture became more difficult to distinguish from post-modern architecture. Some of its ideas were later absorbed into the style of Neo-Futurism art and architectural movement.

A skyscraper is a tall, multi-story building that stands as a prominent feature of urban landscapes. Characterized by its height and verticality, a skyscraper is designed to maximize space efficiency, often accommodating offices, residences, or commercial spaces. These architectural marvels use steel and concrete construction techniques, featuring a distinctive towering silhouette that symbolizes modern urban development. Skyscrapers serve as landmarks, offering breathtaking views, and contribute to the dynamic skyline of cities worldwide.

13. GARDENS BY THE BAY
Singapore
Wilkinson Eyre Architects, Grant Associates, 2012
• Side-by-side parabolic
conservatories of glass and
steel anchor this cutting-edge
botanical garden in
Singapore’s booming Marina
Bay district. Named the 2012
building of the year by the
World Architecture Festival,
the Wilkinson Eyre–designed
structures replicate distinct
climates—one dry, the other
humid—allowing for diverse
attractions like a flower
meadow and a misty
mountain forest.
14. LINKED HYBRID
Beijing
Steven Holl Architects, 2009
• Composed of eight connected
towers, this mixed-use
complex represents a
compelling vision for 21st-century
urban development.
To combat the isolation often
associated with luxury
residential buildings and
gated communities, the
architects placed wide, open
passages at ground level,
ushering pedestrians into a
series of public spaces that
include gardens, shops,
restaurants, and schools.
15. THE SHARD
London
Renzo Piano Building Workshop, 2012
• Familiar to watchers of last
summer’s Olympic Games, this 72-
story skyscraper—the tallest in
Western Europe—has transformed
the British capital’s skyline, rising
arrestingly on the southern banks of
the Thames. Inspired by church
steeples, the structure comprises
eight angled glass façades that
variously reflect the surrounding city
and sky and offer crystal-clear
glimpses inside. Intended by Piano
to act as a vertical village, the
multifunctional building includes
offices, apartments, restaurants, and
a hotel—all crowned by a recently
opened observation platform, which
affords stunning views up to 40
miles in every direction.
16. PEROT MUSEUM OF NATURE AND SCIENCE
Dallas
Morphosis Architects, 2012
• Architect Thom Mayne, the
Pritzker Prize–winning founder
of Morphosis, is famous for
breaking the mold, and his
latest building is no exception.
Sheathed in panels of textured
concrete, it consists of a five-story
cube, fractured at one
corner and set atop a sweeping
plinth planted with Texas
grasses. Slashed across the
cube’s exterior is a dramatic
glass-enclosed escalator, which
whisks visitors to the top-floor
entrance to the exhibits.
17. PARRISH ART MUSEUM
Water Mill, New York
Herzog & de Meuron, 2012
• Topped by a double-gable
roof of white corrugated
metal, the Parrish’s
strikingly horizontal new
home melds brilliantly with
its setting, nodding in form
to both the traditional
barns and the cottage like
artist studios that have
long been associated with
Long Island’s East End.
Another exterior view of the 615-
feet-long museum.
18. GUANGZHOU OPERA HOUSE
Guangzhou, China
Zaha Hadid Architects, 2010
• China’s building boom has
produced some audacious
projects, and few are as
eye-popping as Hadid’s
performance center for the
southern industrial city of
Guangzhou. The venue
consists of two dynamic
fluid-form structures, the
larger housing an
undulating, gilded 1,800-
seat hall and the smaller
home to a more intimate
400-seat space.
19. METROPOL PARASOL
Seville, Spain
J. Mayer H. Architects, 2011
• When excavation for a
parking garage
unearthed Roman
artifacts in Seville’s Plaza
de la Encarnación, city
officials opted to
commission this
welcoming landmark
instead.
20. • METROPOL PARASOL
• Some 90 feet high and nearly 500 feet long, the billowing timber
pavilion is part pergola, part urban parlor. Viewing platforms are
perched atop the organic forms, which also shelter restaurants and an
archaeological museum.
21. ABSOLUTE WORLD
Mississauga, Ontario
MAD Architects, 2012
• These residential high-rises
strike a voluptuous
profile in Toronto’s
largest suburb. With
continuous balconies
and elliptical floor plans,
the 50- and 56-story
skyscrapers appear to
shimmy and twist, each
around its own axis.

Museum, St. Petersburg,
Russia. Founded by
Catherine the Great in
1794
