History of the Skyscraper

  • Patrick McLaughlin
A continuation from the Museum of Associations we each had to produce an individual association that would feature in our exhibit.
My association shows the growth of skyscrapers and the technological breakthroughs that took place allowing engineers to reach the tallest building in the world - the Burj Khalifa. You start in 1870 with the completion of the first skyscraper housing the first elevator and then moving up the timeline to show the construction of the Burj Khalifa and how it was made possible.
