The Rise of the Mile-High Building

The mile-high skyscraper makes a little more sense to build now than it did when Frank Lloyd Wright designed one nearly 60 years ago.

That idea wasn’t buildable then; its successor would still be risky, financially ruinous, slow to construct, and inefficient to operate.
