High-rise buildings became popular due to increasing urbanization and land prices combined with advances in structure and construction technologies. By the mid-twentieth century, high-rise buildings featuring steel structural frames and glass exterior sheathing had become a standard feature of the architectural landscape in most countries worldwide (Encyclopædia 2013).
