The four lessons that compose this guide may be used sequentially or as independent units. An introduction to the key principles of each lesson is followed by a close examination of the works, including historical context and information on the artists. Discussion questions based on the images lead students through analysis of the visual elements of artworks and seek to create connections between information and visual evidence. The activities that conclude each lesson encourage students to synthesize what they have learned about the works and carry the lessons into the broader curriculum or relate it to skills they are practicing in the classroom.

The goal of this guide is to introduce students to the design and construction of sky-scrapers and to demonstrate to teachers the variety of ways in which architecture can be used in the classroom. The guide's purpose is not just to explicate works of art, but also to demonstrate how images and historical information can be integrated into different subject areas as well as project-based learning in the classroom. Lessons are accompanied by writing, research, and hands-on, art-based activities that encourage students to make connections between the works discussed and their environment.

Students will learn about design issues including sustainability, safety, and use; explore how architects are using green technologies in today's buildings; investigate how the built environment affects the natural environment; investigate how the natural environment affects the built environment.

Students will explore the design process through photographic documentation and architectural plans and elevations; use primary-source documentation to explore the history of a building; compare and contrast works of architecture and industrial design; become familiar with the work of Mies van der Rohe and the International Style movement; learn the terms plan, elevation, cantilever, ornamentation, and scale.
