。1883年，WillianLeBaronJenney（1832~1907）用类似鸟笼形状的铁柱来支撑楼层。在1889年，框架结构首次由钢梁和钢柱构成。外墙成为了“幕墙”而不是被用做支撑结构是框架结构的一个成果。砖石一直是“幕墙”的主要材料，直到1930年轻金属和玻璃幕墙的问世为止。自从钢骨架首次推出，建筑物的高度一直在迅速增加。直到第二次世界大战为止，所有的高层建筑都是由钢骨架建造的。战争结束以后，钢材的缺乏和混凝土品质的改进，促进了钢筋混凝土高层建筑的发展。芝加哥的MarinaTowers（1962）是美国最高的混凝土建筑；它的高度是588英尺即179米，不久以后它将超出198米高的伦敦邮政塔和其它的塔。在关于摩天大楼建筑中的承重墙的使用在看法上有了改变。在纽约，由EeroSaarinen于1962年设计的哥伦比亚广播公司大楼，四周的墙由1.5米宽的混凝土柱构成，柱与柱的中心间距为3米。这种围护墙有效地构成了建筑物的承重墙。这种趋势发展的原因是建筑物的墙像一个管道可以有利地抵抗风的强烈作用；世贸大楼是另一个管道法的例子。相比之下，坚固的框架或垂直支撑通常提供建筑的横向稳定。围护结构。一个建筑的围护结构由透明的窗户和不透明的墙组成。窗户采用传统上的玻璃作为材料年，然而塑料也被使用，特别在破损严重和保养难的学校里。墙被用来覆盖结构和起支撑作用，它是由多样化的建筑材料组成：砖、现浇混凝土、石头、不透明的玻璃、塑料、钢材和铝材。木头是过去建造房屋的主要材料；因为它易着火，因而不常用于商业的、工业的和公共建筑。楼地面。一幢建筑的楼地面结构取决于它所使用的基本结构框架。在钢框架建筑中，楼地面或者是钢梁上的混凝土楼板，或者是由波纹钢配有混凝土骨料组成的地板。在混凝土结构中，楼地面或者是混凝土梁上的混凝土楼板或者是一系列紧密分布于混凝土梁在方向上端的薄混凝土楼板，在它的下面抹一层抹面。楼层的种类取决于支撑柱之间的距离或者墙和空间的功能性。在一栋公寓大楼中，例如，墙和柱隔开3.7米到5.5米，最常见的结构是无梁实心混凝土楼盖。楼盖的下表面是楼盖以下空间的最高限度。办公大楼中常使用波纹钢地板，这是因为波纹钢地板的波纹当由另一块金属板盖上时，可以形成电话线和电线管道。机械电力系统。一个现代建筑不仅包括必要使用空间而且也包括机械、电力系统等的辅助空间，以便营造一个舒适的生活环境。这些辅助空间可能占摩天大楼总建筑面积的25%。在一个办公大楼中，供暖、通风、电力和卫生设备系统的预算额占实际建筑总预算额的40%，显示了它们在建筑中的重要性。因为许多建筑是密封的，窗户不能被打开，因而由机械系统提供了通风设备和空气调节设备。新鲜空气从中央换气室由空气调节器用管道输入。通风管和控制照明设备单元由悬挂在上面楼层结构下面的天花板遮住了。提供动力的电力线路和电话通讯线路也可能在天花板里或者也可能在楼地面结构层中的管道或导线管里。我们曾尝试性地把机械、电力系统加入建筑物的建筑风格中去，让他们裸露在结构的外部；例如美国保
