摘要

Before modern engineering and the ability to manipulate concrete and steel, the world of architecture consisted of wood, adobe, thatch, and cave dwellings. We've come a long way. Todays cities reveal skies punctuated by buildings so tall and austere, even architectural tour guides experience the occasional pain in the neck. So, which material reigns supreme in the world of development today - concrete or steel? Both provide numerous benefits. As for whether or not one is better, Buildings lets you determine which side you're on.
