What is National Skyscraper Day?

National Skyscraper Day is celebrated on September 3rd each year to mark the birthday of Louis H. Sullivan, the American architect widely regarded as the father of skyscrapers. From the world's first skyscraper — the ten-story Home Insurance Building in Chicago, 1885 — to today's 163-floor Burj Khalifa, the day honours the architects, engineers, and construction crews who keep pushing buildings toward the sky.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
