Iron+and+steel

When steel appeared, a whole new concept about architecture emerged. This coute expresses two of the ways steel renovated architecture. First of all, the lightness of the steel structure, permitted better aesthetic looks in terms of simplicity. Second of all, steel is so resistant that taller and bigger buildings where possible to construct. Whith these characteristics, steel was one step ahead iron in more than one way. This is what brought the "falling" of the iron structures.
 * COMMENT:**
 * "the old cast iron buildings died out. I'm not really sure whether the new skyscrapers killed them, or the new esthetics".**
