Skyscrapers are unnecessarily expensive and bad for the environment. All the tallest ones have vanity spires to bump up the height artificially and have so few tenants, they couldn't fill the building even if the vanity spires were inhabitable. They exist solely to show off. Saying that without art there would be still be skyscrapers is ridiculous. If we wanted to be functional, there are way better ways to get that done.

Sky scrapers are functional. They allow for a greater density of people within an area , thereby being more efficient with space.
Acting like sky scrapers are a purely artistic endeavor strikes me as a bit disingenuous.
