Description

INTRODUCTION

The word “SKYSCRAPER” originally was a nautical term referring to a tall mast or its main sail on a sailing ship. The term was first applied to buildings in the late 19th century as a result of public amazement at the tall buildings being built in Chicago and New York City. The traditional definition of a skyscraper began with the “first skyscraper”, a steel-framed ten-storey building. Chicago’s now demolished ten-storey steel-framed Home Insurance Building (1885) is generally accepted as the “first skyscraper”.
