Consisting of both a historic overview and a practical guide, this book explores foundational principles for the design of early 20th century high-rise buildings using the skeleton method, later dubbed cage construction. Due to its thorough exploration of the relationship between load-bearing systems, fire protection, and foundation design, both engineers and architects will find value in this practical guidebook. Through detailed illustrations and examples, the author demonstrates important theories and structural concepts with a special emphasis on the significance of terra cotta and concrete as fireproofing materials. The author also provides overviews of typical office building designs, important construction milestones, and best practices for fire protection.
