Description
Starting with the Pagoda in Kew Gardens of 1757,this bookchronicles the development of skyscrapers in London, particularly over the last 75 years, and previews them over the next decade, up to and beyond The Shard at London Bridge. No other work addresses the ongoing debate about London's skyline in this way. Architecture, engineering, politics, planning, property speculation, the crucial green issues of the future, and not least the general public - they are all here. So too are the key personalities, from Seifert, Hyams, and Goldfinger to Rogers, Foster and Livingstone. No less than 125 London skyscrapers are individually examined in detail. The rise of London's skyscrapers are also put in an international perspective, offering a global relevance to their story. This is a lively and provocative book and an invaluable and unique sourcebook. London High includes introductions by London skyscraper architect Terry Brown, senior partner at GMW, and Conor McNicholas, editor of the New Musical Express.
