Did you know? The skyscraper, properly speaking, was born in the United States in the late nineteenth century. During the reconstruction of Chicago following a great fire, William Le Baron Jenney built in 1885 the Home Insurance Building (42 meters high, 11 floors) considered the first skyscraper of modern architecture. This title is disputed with the New York Tribune Building, built by the architect Richard Morris Hunt, in 1875 (79 meters high, 18 floors).
It is a race of the tallest building that starts between New York and Chicago. Arrested by the economic crisis of the 1930s, the movement resumed in the 1960s. On April 4, 1973, the World Trade Center designed by the architect Minoru Yamasaki in Manhattan becomes the tallest skyscraper in the world (417 meters high). In 1974, the Willis Tower in Chicago surpasses it with its 442.3 m height, it is a real battle which is delivered in the sky.
A skyscraper is a very tall and very heavy building that rests on a small plot; the weight must be distributed so that the floor receives as little as possible. There are 3 important steps in building a building: the foundations, the choice of structure and the choice of materials used. Foundations are based on the type of soil (shallow or deep rocky soil) and the surrounding air. The choice of the most suitable structure allows defining the height of the work. The central core structure is an extremely widespread technique. The entire load of the building is supported by a huge hollow pillar (20% of the area of ​​each floor) consolidated concrete or reinforced.
The tube structure uses the facade to increase the resistance of the building against external forces, which have only an aesthetic role. These facades are compared to gigantic steel bearing walls containing many metal pillars that sink directly into the ground. To support the weight of the skyscraper, the idea of ​​the central core is resumed. When we use this structure, the building looks like a hollow wall with colossal dimensions.
