Modern sources currently define skyscrapers as being at least or in height, though there is no universally accepted definition. Skyscrapers are very tall high-rise buildings. Historically, the term first referred to buildings with between 10 and 20 stories when these types of buildings began to be constructed in the 1880s. Skyscrapers may host offices, hotels, residential spaces, and retail spaces. One common feature of skyscrapers is having a steel frame that supports curtain walls.

Modern skyscrapers' walls are not load-bearing, and most skyscrapers are characterised by large surfa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
