We should ask ourselves, what is it that started our interest in skyscrapers in the first place?

Was it just the buildings themselves with no particular context?

Or was it that skyscrapers were beacons that symbolize special places that have many other exciting features?

To me, it is the latter.

I think if I was just growing up today, I wouldn't have the same interest in skyscrapers. Now, there are non-descript skyscrapers popping up in suburbs or other boring places.
