    A meteoric rise in the population and a biting scarcity of habitable land leaves us with only one option "to go skywards". The speed and the technology used in construction of skyscrapers have undergone a radical change since man constructed the Pyramids of Giza. Humongous machines controlled by few men have replaced age-old methods requiring the sweat and toil of many. Vertigo is a small step in our endeavor to build faster and efficient machines that can replace human labor. So get going and build high!!
