The construction of high-rise buildings did not commence until the late 1800's but sustained its development well past the turn of the century with the first states to see this new growth being New York and Chicago. Through the years the rest of the world decided to join in redesigning the architectural structure of their skyline but was only able to do so based on their countries' economic growth and stability. Today we live in a world where the construction industry has merged closely with some of the finest known architects to not only build the tallest skyscrapers but to give the world a taste of what the future of architecture will look like.
