Music and light are a tried and tested system and David Bowie already found out that they go well together in the song Sound and Vision.

You can pre-order it in one of six colors on Kickstarter, where it has far surpassed its financial goal.

Today, this title belongs to the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (UAE). It can also boast of quite a few "lengths", while American and Chinese cities are famous for the tallest buildings in the world.
