The final lecture discusses the global skyscraper boom of the last twenty years, and provides a wide-ranging survey of key building projects, new building types, and important tall building booms around the world. In this period skyscrapers projects around the world aggressively competed for public attention, critical acclaim, and global capital—all the while adapting to a bewildering new era of digital media. While the world’s elite architectural, engineering, and planning community eagerly participated, the public grew disillusioned with displays of concentrated wealth and power in a period that confronted growing inequality, economic depressions, and climate change. The lecture concludes with a discussion of recent debates on the future of the skyscraper, its environmental impact, and global labor practices.
