最高的住宅建築物
伊利諾州芝加哥的約翰韓柯克中心(John Hancock Center)有 1,127英呎(343.51公尺)高,100個樓層,其44至92樓是住家, 其餘的樓面做為辦公室使用,工程師Fazlur Kahn和建築師 Bruce Graham一起設計"固定支撐的管子系統",讓建築物向 下負載有如此的效力,以致於建築物每平方英呎比傳統建築 物少三分之一的鋼鐵。
The highest residential building
The John Hancock Center in Chicago, Illinois, stands at 1,127 ft (343.51m) in height. Of its 100 storeys, residential dwellings take up floors 44 to 92, and the rest are for offices. Together, Fazlur Kahn, the engineer, and Bruce Graham, the architect, designed a "fixed-support pipe system" which makes the building's downward load so efficient that the building used a third less steel per square foot than its traditional counterparts.

Wonder(s) of the world often refer(s) to the seven wonders (the pyramid, the Great Wall, etc.). I don't know if that's what you should look at instead of the above. Check out:

Also, if it's a homework, don't you think you should ask for help instead of the work of others?
