I visited the National Aquarium in baltimore, Maryland, and their glass building was covered in dots on the glass so that birds could more easily see the glass. I think this would make a lot of sense for skyscrapers, though it would impede on people's views. I think it's worth considering given it will also help save the lives of birds and reduce cleaning costs/damage from the birds.
