Skyscrapers: Design, Construction & History of High Rise Buildings
The first skyscraper construction projects in history appeared in the bustling cities that exemplified the spirit of the roaring 20s in the design. Employing mixes of largely neo-gothic and neoclassical style, the resulting design marvels are buildings that have shaped not only the spatial design of cities for the coming century but have changed our lives entirely. From how we live, work, sleep, play, eat and create, these marvels of engineering and design are perhaps the most important design idea to come from the early 20th century, at least for city dwellers.
