Abstract
Observing the changing architectural trends of highly developed cities such as New York, we can see a new emerging design trend of building ultra-slim, technologically advanced skyscrapers. The architectural revolution that started in New York at the beginning of the 20th century, which resulted in the appearance of some of the first high-rise buildings, is now showing its latest iteration. The newly raised high-rise buildings with pencil-like proportions are permanently changing the silhouette of the city. The construction of these types of buildings is the result of limited available land in an intensely urbanized metropolis and the current development landscape encouraging the erection of luxury residential units. The use of modern construction technologies opens up completely new possibilities in creating cities.
