This dissertation tries to explain how we have developed in building tall buildings and structures and why should we build such buildings.
The paper starts with a history of tall structures, dated back B.C. and how we got till where we are now, regarding tall buildings, by giving some examples of tallest buildings today and their specifications. Next this report goes into history of development of structural systems for tall buildings and explains all structural systems being used nowadays. It continues with reasons and arguments why we should be building and developing such structures, and advantages and disadvantages of them. This paper also will look into future of tall buildings and envisioned structures which most likely will not get constructed any time soon.
In the end this paper I will answer and conclude all my research on the chosen topic.
