No building type captures the imagination as powerfully as the skyscraper. Since its unveiling in New York and Chicago over 100 years ago, the skyscraper has transformed the skyline of every major city. Eric Höweler has collected and organized over seventy skyscraper designs from the world's leading architects. The author's penetrating essays on the cultural, technological, and social factors governing skyscraper design serve as general introductions to thematic groupings of the best contemporary skyscrapers from the last decade. The skyscraper as an icon, monument, urban instrument, and workplace continues to emerge as a powerful site and symbol for collective aspirations and imaginings. This richly illustrated volume (over 200 color photographs) explores skyscraper designs of the recent past and near future, and examines how this dominant structure shapes our existence. -- From publisher's description.

This history of skyscrapers examines how these tall buildings affected the cityscape and the people who worked in, lived in, and visited them. Much of the focus is rightly on the architects who had the vision to design and build America's skyscrapers, but attention is also given to the steelworkers who built them, the financiers who put up the money, and the daredevils who attempt to "conquer" them in some inexplicable pursuit of fame. The impact of the skyscraper on popular culture, particularly film and literature, is also explored.
