Depuis le Home Insurance Building construit à Chicago en 1884-85, les gratte-ciel se multiplient aux États-Unis jusqu’à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, avant de s’exporter en Europe, en Asie et au Moyen- Orient. Véritables icônes de la culture populaire, ces géants de pierre, de verre et d’acier aux dimensions vertigineuses, vitrines du rêve américain, symboles de succès, de puissance, de démesure et de vie luxueuse, n’en finissent pas de fasciner les foules ou de provoquer moult polémiques. Cet ouvrage propose un tour du monde des gratte-ciel les plus remarquables : du Flat Iron (1902) au Lotte World Tower de Séoul (2017), en passant par l’Empire State Building et le One World Trade Center de New York, la tour Pirelli de Milan, le Shard et le « Gherkin » de Londres, l’Evolution Tower de Moscou, le Shanghai World Financial Center, le Kingdom Center de Riyad ou encore le Burj Khalifa de Dubai – le plus haut du monde (828 m).
