ABSTRACT
It has always been a human aspiration to create
taller structures. Ancient structures such as the
tower of Babel, Colossus of Rhodes, the pyra-
mids of Egypt, Mayan Temples, and many more
were apparently built as symbol of power. Today,
the determining factors for buildings to become
higher are mainly the economic and social fac-
tors, although human ego and competition are still
playing role (Lin, 2009).
