Two things led to the feasibility of skyscrapers:

  • the cheaper production of mass iron and then light steel beams, which allowed economic construction of high rise buildings that did not lose most of the lower floors to bulky masonry construction;
  • the design of safety elevators which meant people could access floors over 10 stories more easily.

Is it possible for skyscrapers to have walls of glass?

Yes, skyscrapers can have walls made of glass, a design feature commonly referred to as a "glass curtain wall." This allows for natural light to enter the building while providing stunning views. Modern engineering techniques ensure that these glass walls can withstand environmental stresses such as wind and temperature changes. Additionally, advancements in glass technology have improved energy efficiency and insulation.
