Idea for architecture shot

A large factor in architecture photography is to grasp the scale of some of the subjects being shot. A popular shot that many photographers have been known to take are shots of large scale, tall buildings looks directly up at the subject, such as this photo from the website:

Hong Kong High Rise

This is a look that i want to capture when taking some of my shots for architecture.

I need to think about what lens i will use, i need a wide angle lens to capture to whole scale of the building, and also need to think about lighting on my subject.
