tall buildings

Tall buildings, often called skyscrapers, are structures that rise significantly higher than their surroundings, typically over 150 feet (about 45 meters). They are designed for residential, commercial, or mixed-use purposes and are constructed using materials like steel and reinforced concrete to support their weight. Tall buildings are engineered to withstand various forces, including wind and earthquakes, and often feature elevators for easy access to upper floors. Iconic examples include the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the Empire State Building in New York City, representing both architectural innovation and urban development.
