As time goes by, and the years accumulate, we realize that every day man wants to do something new, or simply wants to make something bigger that already exists. This is where the buildings come in.

From ancient times the typical houses of people were flush with the earth. Different cultures or tribes implemented to make their dwellings in the top of the trees, well they began to look for to live "in the airs". And little by little, they began to look for to construct things much higher, as, for example, the ancient Egyptians gave their example with the great pyramids.

The great towers are also known as skyscrapers, and this name is given because of its great height and that is why they say they are "scratching the sky". These buildings are very tall, and people use it either as a place to live, full of apartments or as a place to work, full of offices.

Why should such tall towers be built?

As they have some advantages, the main advantage is to have a very large space used in a small earth space. This means that to build a large building is not necessary to have a large area of land because what matters is what you build up, its number of floors and everything that is able to accommodate that place.

Another of its advantages at a business level is that a company manages to unite all its departments and all its people in one place, and this obviously helps both the union and performance as the owner's pocket.

As a large number of employees or people go to the same place, this helps to reduce the use of personal vehicles, as people prefer to travel on public transport.
