Don will discuss the development of the structure of skyscrapers at the end of the nineteenth century, the historic context for the emergence of this new building type, and explain the technical aspects of construction. Preservation problems are discussed extensively. This definitive book is essential for anyone who is interested in early skyscrapers and especially for those professionals who work on them.
