"The exhibition flaunted 1:100 scale mock-ups of towers reaching 100 floors or more.These models echoed the works in progress of established architects such as France's Jean Nouvel with the Agbar tower in Barcelona, Italy's Renzo Piano's model for the future headquarters of The New York Times and Britain's Norman Foster for the 283m, 40-storey Swiss Re Tower in London, billed as the world's first ecological skyscraper.
