Throughout the 1970's and 80's the western world dominated the skyline when it came to skyscraper construction. As the buildings got more and more expensive and with western economies in decline, eyes turned to the east as Asia bursts onto the skyscraper game.

Skyscrapers have dominated city landscapes for more than 100 years. Since debuting as 10-story buildings in the late 19th century, these tall towers have constantly evolved as architects and structural engineers pushed the boundaries of what's possible.
