Dezeen’s top 10 skyscrapers of 2018

In keeping with todays architecture theme, reporter India Block picks 10 of the year’s best skyscrapers for our review of 2018, from one sporting a 100-metre-high waterfall to the northernmost tower block in the world.

Towering 170 metres over Milan, the Generali Tower expresses Zaha Hadid Architects’ signature curves in a helical twist that runs through the tower.

No two floors are aligned inside the 44-storey skyscraper, hence the nickname “the twisted one”. Now the city’s third-tallest building, it stands together with Arata Isozaki’s 202-metre high Allianz Tower and the incomplete 175-metre tall PwC tower by Studio Libeskind on Milan’s former expo site.

SpaceX to Launch Upgraded Falcon 9 Rocket

The next launch by  Space Exploration Technologies Corp. appears almost routine by now: A satellite owned by Bangladesh will blast into orbit on top of a reusable Falcon 9 rocket, then the booster will land back on a drone ship to be launched again at a later date. SpaceX has already done this 24 times—11 by land, 13 by sea.  

But Thursday’s launch will mark the debut of a slightly different rocket, called Falcon 9 Block 5, that SpaceX has crafted to more quickly send an already used rocket back into space. The new rocket is “designed to be capable of 10 or more flights with very limited refurbishment,”SpaceX said ahead of the launch.
