For many years architects tried to make skyscrapers simply as tall as possible. In recent decades, of course, this seems to be changing, as architects strive to create both tall and beautiful buildings. Buildings that fill the… eye, apart from their height, and for their beauty. Buildings that one would call ornaments.

The skyscraper and the twentieth century are synonymous. The tall building is the landmark of our time. As a structural marvel that breaks the traditional limits of mankind’s persistent ambition to build in the sky, the skyscraper is the most impressive architectural phenomenon of that century.

Although skyscrapers have not always been beautiful, each new project is an engineering marvel, helping to shape a city’s landscape and define its skyline. Designing a skyscraper is every architect’s dream. These talents are constantly striving to reinvent the modern skyscraper with taller, more innovative designs.

We have gathered in this ebook the 10 tallest skyscrapers of the world. The activities at the back of the book will help your students practice their knowledge of them. Enjoy!
