Repurposed water tower?
It seems this one was commissioned as an antenna tower, not repurposed (according to Wikipedia). Might just be an architect that found the shape cool and practical.
As a kid I saw this one in Paris, bigger and with offices inside, but with the same purpose (radio and TV antennas) https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tour_hertzienne_TDF_site_Romainville
More space on the roof for stuff pointing up, more area around the edge for stuff pointing down and out. Mounting stuff is easier when you don’t have to hire professional tower climbers to do it.
Heck, you can throw a freight elevator in there, and get so much more interest from tenants with just that. If tall buildings didn’t do all that so well already, I’m sure we’d see more of these around highly populated areas.
I mean, that looks like an air traffic control tower, so there may very well be people in there. Just not “tenants” in the strictest sense.
By “tenants” I mean people who rent space on the tower for antennas, and supporting equipment.
Empty, see the pic on Wikipedia link
It maximizes floor space on the top floor. It’s not a building but a tower who’s purpose is to be really high and to see really far. I bet there’s a restaurant at the top.
No restaurants, not even a lift I think. It’s a disc on a concrete pillar
Ever watched MIB??
Those are for communicating with aliens \s
Its actually for the aliens who crash landed here and are looking for their route back. Its just convenient cause once they get their route home they can just zip away
