What is National Skyscraper Day?

National Skyscraper Day is celebrated on September 3rd each year to mark the birthday of Louis H. Sullivan, the American architect widely regarded as the father of skyscrapers. From the world's first skyscraper — the ten-story Home Insurance Building in Chicago, 1885 — to today's 163-floor Burj Khalifa, the day honours the architects, engineers, and construction crews who keep pushing buildings toward the sky.
