There are objective and subjective methodologies for urban skyline analyses and skyscapers are the main discussion area in urban aestehic dimensions
Try this essay in Computational Culture that deals with "smart buildings" and urban planning:
Beautiful Data: a history of vision and reason since 1945 by Orit Halpern Duke University Press, 2014.
";In architectural development plans,] the open gap between form and function could create space for imagination and alternative histories to come, says Halpern – perhaps too much imagination, the only parameter being optimizing an abstract market value. Songdo could be anything, including nothing, the emptiness of stored data that seems unmoored from reality. The incapacity to operate distinctions, starting from determining what is being sold, translates into the inability to take decisions and choose a form. Songdo is a flat, amorphous surface, says Halpern. Its lack of nudges and differences, a sign of vast potentialities, may be precisely the reason why it cannibalizes itself – the developer has been losing money since the project began."
