361 Skyscraper

Now every large cities and business areas have its skyscrapers. It's not so uncommon to see them in rather unknown town. When looked up from the street, skyscrapers don't seem to be that special, because they're so familiar with the city sight. This is just a sight. But when you look at them from inside of the neighboring (and as much high as them) building, there is something you cannot help admiring and appreciating those masterpieces.

Say, you're on the 35th floor of one building and you see 40-stories curtain wall made of steel and glass (and usually with people in it) in front of you. This is quite a strange feeling. You and the the building you see are both far separated from the ground, you and the people you see are standing not on earth but the carefully manufactured structure made by human, assuring people safety and stability. Just the fact is amazing enough but today's skyscrapers have to deal with so many things; highly elaborated IT system, saving both energy and emission of CO2, strong resistance to fire, wind or earthquakes, finest concord with environment both in design and ecology, aesthetics, being a landmark and intelligent piece in the business world, sustainability, offering lots of jobs to the community, and of course a whole success to the developer, architecture, constructor, property management firm and all concerned.

And that's why skyscrapers attract people and always will be one of symbols of human's respectable spirit of challenge.
