03 September - USA celebrates Skyscraper Day

 

In USA Skyscraper Day comes on September 3 of every year. The architecture of tall buildings has become so commonplace in cities around the globe that the general public gives little thought to the visionaries responsible for building a town’s unique skyline. Skyscraper day provides the opportunity to learn more about the architects who commit a dream to paper and the construction crews that make it a reality.

At the beginning of the 20th century, New York City was a centre for the Beaux-Arts architectural movement, attracting the talents of such great architects as Stanford White and Carrere and Hastings. As better production and engineering technology became available as the century progressed, New York City and Chicago became the focal point of the competition for the tallest building in the world. Each city’s striking skyline has been composed of numerous and varied skyscrapers, many of which are icons of 20th-century architecture.
