Before there were towers made of heavy stone. Towers had thick walls and the rooms were dark and overcrowded. Windows weren’t very common, it could disadvantage the structure.

New structural designs made skyscrapers even lighter and stronger.
As skyscrapers get taller and taller, engineers were faced with a new problem: the wind. Today's tallest skyscrapers, which are almost 1,500 feet tall, must be 50 times stronger against wind than the typical 200-foot buildings of the 1940s.
