Since they first began to be built, skyscrapers have risen ever higher. Aided by the advent of steel-frame construction and the invention of the passenger elevator, cities and developers have competed to create the world's tallest building. Skyscrapers such as the Empire State Building in New York City and the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur have come to be as famous as the pyramids. This beautifully illustrated history explains the developments in art and science that make these modern marvels possible. Full-color, acrylic paintings.
