The latest edition of our Dezeen Weekly newsletter features the Merdeka 118 skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Australian studio Fender Katsalidis has designed what is now the world's second-tallest building, standing at 678.9-metres-tall.
Located in downtown Kuala Lumpur, the 118-storey megatall skyscraper reached its full height with the completion of its pointed spire.
One reader said, "It looks like a trophy for the world's tallest skyscraper".
Other stories in this week's newsletter include an exhibition highlighting a new generation of Chinese architects at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, 10 home interiors that celebrate the tactility of concrete blockwork, and Michelle Ogundehin's opinion piece on Pantone's choice for colour of the year.
