No, they are automatic ground-to-air rocket devices to prevent mislead

Nice.
How many cross shaped buildings are there in the world? I only know of one: the Place
Ville-Marie in 
Montreal.

I seem to recall that many churches are cross-shaped.

When seen from above, that is.

Yes, but that shape is often masked by many external elements.

I was thinking about cross-shaped sky-scrapers like in Mike's picture. Those are prety
uncommon.

These buildings are typical of some residential buildings in Hong Kong.

A tidbit about these towers: I took this photo when I was visiting HK.
They're in a somewhat remote part of town.  I think people care more about
window space in a residential building than in an office, thus the shape.
The towers have about 8 flats per floor,  about 33 stories, and have a
block of about several (7?) towers in a row that are attatched on the
ground floor.   There are also multiple blocks of the same kind of tower.
They aren't quite a + shape but there's a lot of them :)

Ah, I see.  :-)

I remember seeing some that were shaped like that in Barcelona.  One of
them is next door to the AC Hotel in Barcelona, not sure what it was, but
I wondered about the construction with the open space under some of the
rooms about 15 stories up.
