What is a "skyscraper"?
A skyscraper is a very tall, multi-story building that is designed for offices, apartments, or other purposes. These buildings are typically made of steel and glass, allowing them to reach great heights while remaining strong and stable. Skyscrapers are often found in large cities and are considered symbols of modern architecture and urban development. They offer space for many people or businesses and have features like elevators to move quickly between floors. Skyscrapers are designed to maximize space in crowded areas where land is limited.
