But yeah that's the kind of design you use to max out the strength of your building material, a big hollow base supporting a tapering structure The supertall skyscrapers today are about as high as you can get without a visible base like that

Right, but in the specific case of skyscrapers, can't we build a big low rise complex with a huge basement, with a high rise, slightly narrower, on top, and then a skyscraper on top of that and the a narrower skyscraper on top of that?
