QUEST FOR SKY

Since the dawn of history man has been trying to build the ‘tallest building’ tallest tower or tallest structure in the world. There seems to be much prestige in being home to the world’s tallest. This is so much in fact that this has become a major issue on the political agenda of many countries. Many towers claim the title, and many cities quarrel about who the winner is. It appears to be an unquenchable quest to touch the sky. During the first 90 years of last century, the USA dominated the race for the title of the tallest building of the world, and constructed a rang of famous building that sometimes only for a few months and sometimes for many years, were widely recognized as being the ‘tallest building’ in the world.
