if i were to built a building.

If I were to build an even taller building, what materials will I choose and why. Frankly speaking, I never want to be an engineer. I would rather be an architect but anyway, back to the topic. I would have to consider where I want the building to be build at and the space limited, the climate. But lets assume the climate is good, there are plenty of space etc but all in good condition. I would use steel, cement, bricks, maybe a little of wood. I would want the building to be strong, and long-lasting, but of course pleasant to the eyes too!
