| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Skyscrapers have become synonymous with success in large urban areas worldwide -- an outward symbol of prosperity to the rest of the world. Contemporary architects are faced with the challenge of making their won tall building designs a unique addition to skylines. This book looks at some of the best architects in the tall-building genre and the buildings that have made them famous.
