subject: The Way Skyscrapers And Other Man Made Marvel Create A Mesmerizing Skyline [print this page] It is an undeniable truth that big cities have more serious issues and thicker fumes of smoke. Still, metropolitans have their own advantages. No matter how hasty the life is there, it is also equally convenient and facilitated, especially if you are a resident in one of the biggest cities in the world. You'll be the first to benefit from the new gadgets and inventions and supreme quality. Although people argue about lack of natural air and landscape in the urban areas, manmade wonders have made a scenery of their own. It not an old story those skyscrapers wonders were built. Most of the people living today has seen the whole evolution in front of their own eyes. Just about two decades ago, all that was present was foundations and semi built structures with a scaffold and a scissor lift. And in just a matter of time a whole landscape of sky hugging buildings began to evolve.
Today, the skyline of some of the most developed cities is a jaw dropping experience. The manner and pattern in which buildings and structures come together in symmetry, and the way they illuminate the sky, no feast of nature is comparable to that. There are several factors which make a skyline more appealing and better than others. First of all, it should have a Virtual Vertical Impact Index which is the standard of the skyline's visual impact against the natural horizon. More accurately, one can say it is the comparison of the natural horizon and the artificial horizon visible due to the buildings.
The height of a building plays a very significant role in this aspect for example, many great cities with large ancient buildings fail to create a worth watching skyline as their structures are too short. Density is also another thing which plays its role in making a city's silhouette. Density doent stand for the people who reside there. It is about the distance between each building and the pattern in which it is equally placed among them.
Buildings can have different styles and organizations. Everyone has a different opinion about which style is good, it is the overall effect of different styles that makes up for a skyline and if all the buildings are of the similar size or style, the skyline would not be very interesting, despite the height and density. There are a lot of buildings around the world which are regarded as a marvel of art or a feat of science. Skylines which include such marvels, are said to be better than the ones with no prominent structures nearby. There are a lot of cities with prominent skylines but there are many of them which are just duplication of other famous skylines. This actually knocks them off the list of best skylines as they are short of originality and uniqueness.
The area around these builidings is very important when it comes to the overall appearance of the skyline for it is called the heaven in the background and it enhances the beauty of the foreground, i.e. the skyline. Mountains and water bodies are crucial parts of these artificial horizons. So, when watching the picture in whole, it is the amalgam of nature's divine beauty and man's super marvels that make a silhouette bordering the city's horizon.
