Description
In more than three decades of practice, Yeang has almost single-handedly pioneered and developed this building genre. This book presents his work on the design of ecologically responsive skyscrapers, and includes his essay on applying green design principles to the skyscraper typology. He makes it clear at the outset that the skyscraper building type is probably the most ecologically unfriendly of all building types, but states that until an economically viable alternative is identified, it is necessary to make them as humane and as sustainable as possible. Each project is presented together with data on its climatic location, the local vegetation, plot ratio, net and gross areas.
