Skyscraper

Skyscraper by Doolittle, Michael. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780375813092.

IT ALL STARTS with a vision of a building so high it will catch the clouds. . . . From that first vision, through the planning, digging, welding, fitting, and decorating, Skyscraper shows how a very tall building is constructed in a very narrow space. Author Susan Goodman and photographer Michael Doolittle spent several years documenting the building of a New York City skyscraper. They have distilled hundreds of photographs and hours of interviews and research into this lively and accessible book for construction fans of all ages.
