View Original Description
Tall buildings are more than a collection of huge amounts of steel, concrete and glass. Many are iconic examples of a region’s art and architecture. Others are testaments to the egos of the owners, designers and builders. All are shining examples of the maximization of precious land resources in densely populated areas. Skyscrapers provide unmistakable landmarks on the skylines in the cities where they are located, incredible vistas of the surrounding geography, highly sought after office, retail, residential and hotel space and are storehouses for precious artwork.
