Nairobi skyline silhouette

A saucer-roof convention tower, a stepped office shaft, and a green city base.

Nairobi is easiest to read through Kenyatta International Convention Centre, Times Tower, and Uhuru Park edge. A highland capital with a pointed convention tower, a mosque dome and open green edges. A cylindrical tower carries a wide saucer-like roof and a narrow mast. A stepped shaft rises above the central office blocks. Trees and open green space interrupt the lower skyline. The Kenyatta International Convention Centre rises with a cylindrical core and a broad saucer roof, while the Times Tower adds a stepped modern shaft. Nairobi's skyline is broken by trees and parkland, with distant hills and a lower, warmer city base than Johannesburg. If the outline has a saucer-roof convention tower, a stepped office shaft, and a green city base, choose Nairobi. The combination matters more than any single building, especially when the skyline is simplified into one clean game silhouette.
