http://flightprojects.msfc.nasa.gov/fd02_towers.html has a proposal for multi-kilometer high towers built with graphite-epoxy compounds for purposes including power generation and space launches. I have not found sources on the nanotech building materials that could be used as the next iteration after graphite-epoxy. To the best of my knowledge, carbon nanotubes are not yet ready for prime time.
