Iron+&+Steel



“THE OLD CAST IRON BUILDINGS DIED OUT. I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHETHER THE NEW SKYSCRAPERS KILLED THEM, OR THE NEW ESTHETICS”

Skyscrapers need strength, stiffness, and stability in its construction so that it cansustain itself and therefore needed the passage of iron to steel. The iron was replaced because steel is more resistant to compression, tension, is stronger and achievable. In my opinion not only for aesthetic iron buildings that have died but for improvement in  construction. And as the years go by are experienced in search ofnew materials development.
