The construction and real estate industries, already in the midst of adjusting practices to an increasingly digital influence, realized a new urgency with the onset Tall buildings embody objectives ranging from pure business to nation building.

Using Bessemer steel beams, Fuller developed a technique for creating steel cages that would be used in subsequent skyscrapers.
Taller buildings were also made possible through the invention of the electric elevator in , which reduced the amount of time it took to travel between floors. Also impactful was the invention of electric lighting, which made it easier to illuminate larger spaces. Many of the earliest skyscrapers were built in an architectural style that came to be known as the Chicago School. These steel-frame structures often featured terra cotta exteriors, plate glass windows, and detailed cornices.
Contrary to its name, the Chicago style reached far beyond the American midwest—buildings in the Chicago style were built in places as far away as Florida, Canada, and New Zealand.

Like any tall building, key pillars in the design and construction of skyscrapers are creating safe, functional and comfortable spaces in a high rise building. Moreover, the levels must be easily and equally accessible via reliable elevators. However, skyscraper design has some unique considerations to take into account: they must support their weight, withstand the climate on both ends of the spectrum from wind to earthquakes , and be fire-safe.
Plumbing can also be tricky. The dead load the weight of the structure is larger than the live load the weight attributed to furniture, occupants, machinery etc in skyscraper construction which means the amount of structural materials required on the lower levels is far greater than the amount required for the higher levels. Sometimes, this is hidden in the design and other times, such as the John Hancock Center in Chicago, the building can make a feature out if this unique design characteristic.
The original skyscrapers were built around the concept of a steel frame however as the height increases steel frames begin to be less practical and more costly.
In the early s the Bangladeshi-American structural engineer and architect Fazlur Rahman Khan developed the tube frame. It is a system in which a building is designed to act like a hollow cylinder, cantilevered perpendicular to the ground.
In this way the building is able to better resist lateral loads such as wind, seismic forces and impacts without foregoing valuable floor space for additional support as the building climbs higher. Since the tube structure was established in the s most buildings over 40 storeys are designed using this method as best practice.
The walls are often curtain walls, as they do not need to bear the weight of the buildings. Curtain walls are non-structural and act simply to protect occupants from the weather, however they can be designed to absorb sway induced by wind and seismic forces. They can be made from lightweight materials which can help reduce or offset the overall cost. As result many modern skyscrapers take advantage of the freedom afforded by curtain walls and design large surface areas of windows to allow natural light deeper into the centre of the building.
The Burj Khalifa is the tallest skyscraper in the world. It stands at The building is the centrepiece of a mixed-use development that includes private apartments, hotels, a mall, parkland and an artificial lake.
Owned by the government, the Abraj Al Bait Towers were designed to modernise the city and cater to its pilgrims. Contained within are restaurants, high-end retailers, luxury hotels and residential condos. New York may have been the birthplace of skyscraper architecture but it is not the city with the most amount of skyscrapers. Dubai comes in forth followed by Shanghai and China continues to dominate the top Melbourne, with just 52 skyscrapers, is the first Australian city on the list at number 25, closely followed by Sydney at number 32 with 40 skyscrapers.
Many of the most iconic contemporary skyscrapers have been built to the neo-futurist style, but generally a more classical approach is more common. It is designed in the neo-futurist style by Adrian Smith who also designed the Burj Khalifa — currently the tallest building in the world.
Construction began in and although is currently on hold, it had planned to recommence in It is difficult to predict what skyscrapers will look like or what style they will follow in the future — how will future advances in technology and materials affect the height, construction and appearance of skyscrapers?
