Bleh, I was almost right :c

They look very similar, I agree. Most people in the US probably don't know the tower in Berlin, while most europeans probably don't know the tower in Toronto.

EDIT:
While talking about "big"; here are some pictures to put the size of the tower in perspective:

The tower loaded in ACM city

I loaded the tower in Bedroom :P

.. In other words: the tower is huuuuge. The real thing is 368 meters high, and this model is 1:1 scale. That means that it is about 925 bricks high. And for those of you who wanted me to build the Eiffel Tower: this approxemately the size of the finished product. And for those of you who wanted me to build the Burj Khalifa: ARE YOU CRAZY?! It would be 3 times as large as this one!

how big would it be if you used the bedroom house as a starting point and not a blockhead? xD

bigger than the brick count limit

Jesus Christ that would be insane

I think the current size is big enough. You can't see the ground from the top, even with visibility turned to max.
Ephi's elevators take more than a minute to reach the sphere (I got bored, so I don't have the exact time xD)
I don't think I'll ever build something taller than 500 meters. Cause that's just ridiculously large. This one was fun to build though.

The only thing I'm not very happy with is the interior:

What do you think? (It's not based on the actual interior, mind you)

To be honest, I don't have very much experience with interiors. Interiors aren't massive, they're delicate and small. I think that's why I don't like them very much.

If anyone wants to take a look at the save and spice up the interior, feel free to do that. I'd appreciate if you share the spiced up version with me after you're done.
Here's the save: http://www.mediafire.com/?y176eglp16hbwxb. It includes the bricks needed.

It's fine. Just needs more ornamentation such as potted plants and lounge chairs/coffee tables.

Do you think Fallingwater would be cool? I would love it.
