Skyscrapers have to hold the weight of the skyscraper, cinder blocks wouldn't work. Cinder blocks probably max out at two or three stories unless you do brick on concrete frame like you see in some countries.

Wood also maxes out at some point, and even poured concrete - which is why the tallest skyscrapers are glass on steel.

Wood was used to build this 18 story building recently - it definitely is less strong than glass/steel though
