The CTBUH does not include "antennae, signage, flagpoles or other functional-technical equipment" in height measurements. But that's only if it's an antenna mast. It's no longer being used as an antenna mast, but it was decided to leave it up as an architectural spire. So it should count now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Just because they have decided to leave it in place doesn't change the reality. It is still what it is and is still subject to removal. More detail from CTBUH: Functional-technical equipment: this is intended to recognize that functional-technical equipment is subject to removal/addition/change as per prevalent technologies, as is often seen in tall buildings (e.g., antennae, signage, wind turbines, etc. are periodically added, shortened, lengthened, removed and/or replaced)." If the mast qualified as an architectural element, it would have done so from the beginning, regardless of whether it also served as an antenna or had antennae attached to it.
