The future of skyscrapers

High-rise construction has always been at the forefront of construction technology and therefore accompanied by a high degree of risk. Neither the technical, economic nor aesthetic effects of super high-rise buildings can be guaranteed. The authors of this article conducted a survey of professionals in the architectural and construction industry in the city of Amman, Jordan. The purpose of the survey was to identify how the respondents feel about the future of high-rise construction in Amman. Both the prospect of this direction and the need for a more cautious and thoughtful attitude towards it are shown.
