Paraphrase
At present, architects and engineers are impossible to give up exploring the tallest building of the world such as the Sears Tower which is the perfect consummation in skyscraper engineering demonstrably. It shows a problem of the limited height of a building. According to architect Robert Sobel saying that the building could achieve 500-story by existing technology, a building has be designed as high as the Sears Tower by structural engineer named William LeMessurier.

While the Sears Tower is arguably the greatest achievement in skyscraper engineering so far, it’s unlikely that architects and engineers have abandoned the quest for the world’s tallest building. The question is ‘just how high can a building go?’ structural engineer William LeMessurier has designed a skyscraper nearly one-half mile high, twice as tall as the Sears Tower. And architect Robert Sobel claims that existing technology could produce a 500-story building.

Good paraphrasing. Well done. You haven't posted for a while. Could you reflect on what you learnt in block one and what you need to focus on in block 2?
