What is the shortest building in the world?
We all know Burj Khalifa is the TALLEST building at a staggering 826m, but which building is the shortest? I wish to know for my scientific research.
What kind of scientific research that depends on a vague question like this?

It wouldn’t be famous

Any sort of treehouse I suppose. If you don’t count that, maybe like a midget home?

You can take the curve of frequency with respect to height of building. Is it following a standard curve with a steep rise initially and slow fall with a tail at the end. Tails are always important because they are rare.You can find all your known high rise building will fall on the tail of this curve.

The Shortest Building in the World is the Lego Building in Downtown Houston, Texas
Not actually in an alley, though there are plenty around, this building looks more like a Lego fortress. Its unusual shape and smooth surfaces give it a feeling of being just slightly into the future. The Alley Theater is a low, white, crouching piece of architecture. All of this is best appreciated in photography, because seeing the Alley in person one is dwarfed and loses site of the building as a whole. The castle motif is actually utilitarian. The top of the towers house the mechanics of the cooling system.
Quick Facts
* Construction finish: 1969
* Designed by: Ulrich Franzen and Associates with MacKie and Kamrath
* Type: Entertainment Venue
Notes
>24 May, 2002 - Nearly a year after Tropical Storm Allison flooded the Alley Theatre, things still aren’t right. The Houston Chronicle reports the theater is suing its insurance company because it refuses to pay for the $6,500,000.00 in damage.
OK.

I don’t know what kind of research your doing…. But, if you wanted to consider a building that is entirely underground or what portion of it is underground. If you did research for underground facilities, you could consider that building to be not the shortest, but the most inversely tallest building. or the most, "not" tallest building.
Otherwise, your not going to go far unless you seriously define your parameters as to what structure defines a "building"…
