Описание: This documentary reveals how the first skyscrapers in Chicago were built in 1885 without modern machinery, launching the age of vertical cities. Long before cranes, powered elevators, or advanced construction equipment, builders relied on manual labor, steam-powered hoists, primitive elevators, and iron framing to push buildings higher than ever before. We break down how engineers pioneered steel skeleton construction, how materials were lifted floor by floor, and why these early skyscrapers were both revolutionary and extremely dangerous to build. With minimal safety standards and experimental designs, workers risked their lives to redefine architecture. This breakdown shows how Chicago became the birthplace of the skyscraper — using ingenuity, courage, and technology that seems impossibly limited today.
