Abstract
To realize anything which is manmade in the world is an integration of need and possibility. The birth of highrise and super-highrise building can not disobey the rule. Since remote past, human had the will and need of high things, mounting high and living on high places. But the will and need becoming the reality of high-rise building was only in a special age： (1) From the end of 19th century to the beginning of 20th century, after the industrial revolution, productive forces promoted to a large scale, metropolis enlarged, less land had to hold more people; (2) Steel industry expanded, iron and steel played important roles of building materials; (3) The invention of elevator. These factors emerged simultaneously in the United States. After the birth of highrise building, it went straight ahead to the height of super-highrise, right now, 460 m is a new target to be broken through. The history of the development of highrise and super-highrise building may be devided into four stages： Initial groping, Exploring in depth, Modernism and Maturing Stage. A decade ago, accompanied with the development of economics, there was a booming of highrise and super-highrise building in Asia and West coast of Pacific Ocean. After all, highrise and super-highrise building is a phenomenon of economics. From now on, it should be toward biological. There are broad prospects of engineering works, such as dynamics, mechanics and materials. And there are numerous problems of various aspects to be researched, such as the negative influences of human being* s behaviors in super-highrise buildings. Is there an upper limit of super-highrise building? Where is the limit? ……They are worthy to be explored.
