25 creative towers with a good overview.

The desire to see the world from above transcends cultures and time, writes the online magazine archdaily in his article “Architecture Above: 25 Observation Towers Around the World”, which is well worth reading. And continues: It’s “an almost instinctive impulse to seek new horizons, gain perspective, and momentarily step outside everyday life. Observation towers embody that desire: built in forests, mountains, urban parks, or coastal landscapes, they invite us to pause, look closely, and discover the surroundings in a quiet or playful way. These structures offer more than just views; they offer experiences. As we climb their steps or ramps, our bodies take part in a ritual of transition — from ground to sky.”

Here we present a small selection of the 25 towers featured in the article. To explore all the towers, read the entire article here.
