Sinopsis

"Tall Buildings: A Strategic Design Guide" is an authoritative guide to the key technical aspects to consider in generating, understanding and evaluating tall building proposals. Written by highly respected specialists in the field, the distinct issues under consideration include urban design, architecture, engineering, life safety, construction economics, market economics and building occupancy. Illustrated throughout in full colour, the book's geographical context is primarily the UK, with a focus on London. It describes the features that distinguish a tall building from those of conventional height in technical, functional, aesthetic and planning terms by reference to case studies such as the Heron, Columbus, London Bridge and Minerva towers, 122 Leadenhall Street, Canary Wharf, Tower 42 and Centrepoint. With attention to tall buildings gathering steam across the UK, "Tall Buildings: A Strategic Design Guide" is an invaluable tool for anyone hoping to understand fully these technically distinct and potentially beautiful structures.
