Description
Since streets become increasingly crowded, living on the top of a building promises privacy and distance. Rooftops have become the symbol of a new lifestyle - an extension and exclusive enjoyment of an area traditionally unused: the architectural crown of a building has been transformed into a new area for work or living. Architects, designers and town planners have seen in this final section of a building their last chance to let their fantasies run free and to dramatically shape the cities' skylines with extensions, attics and unique tops. This volume delivers a very close insight in the divers possibilities of the roof design of residential, corporative and other buildings. 80 projects - including the new terminal at Madrid-Barajas Airport by Estudio Lamela Arquitectos and Richard Rogers Partnership, the Selfridges building in Birmingham from Future Systems, Turbulence House from Steven Holl Architects, and the Scottish Parliament building by Enric Miralles & Benedetta Tagliabue (EMBT) - present the exciting potential and opportunities for roof design. An index with the contact details of the designers is enclosed.
