Is there a maximum height in building design?

Question

Using today's construction technology, is there a limit to how high a skyscraper (can be built).

Answer 1

The hight to width ratio fall into building codes so no more than 210 stories.

Answer 2

As the height goes up, the size of the columns at the base goes up.  At some point, the first floor becomes solid steel or concrete.  So there is some absolute limit, but that is a long way off, like around 10,000 feet.  Other more practical limits come into play sooner, such as elevator space, which has been mentioned, and bearing capacity of the bedrock, and also economic considerations.  Some engineers believe a 5,000 foot building is possible.  Whether it is practical or desirable or affordable is another question.

Answer 3

no, at least not till above 200 stories.

major problems are elevator space. As a building gets higher, elevators take up a larger and larger percentage of the area of each floor.
