In the 1960s, tall buildings were braced around their perimeters, but developers and tenants objected to obstructed views, which led to a shift toward steel cores. That method, however, proved uneconomical, and was replaced, in the 1980s, by structural systems with braces of large composite columns filled with concrete.
