The strength of the skyscraper comes from the design and engineering concepts and the materials used in their construction. Their great mass keeps them "pressed to the earth" where they were built. Simple. And the strength of the materials in their frame holds them up while permitting them to flex just enough to resist failing and falling under the loads of wind and ground movement.
