From a church built to the glory of God, to monuments that symbolize national or civic pride, to buildings vaunting the material accomplishments of commercial enterprises. Skyscrapers reveals the full story behind the design and construction of each structure. You'll learn about the many social, political, and economic obstacles that delayed the construction of the serenely beautiful Washington Monument; travel to Paris for an intimate look at the Eiffel Tower, the graceful, intricate web of prefabricated iron girders that was both touted, as proof of French engineering superiority, and protested, as a threat to individual creative expression; and to Ulm, to behold the filigreed tower and incomparable interior of the great Gothic cathedral, an edifice made possible by the invention of the flying buttress, which freed walls from their load-bearing roles and allowed them to be pierced so that light could flood in.
