Description
Ever taller and more dramatic, skyscrapers are being built everywhere. This book looks at contemporary examples, from the perspective of both their architecture and their engineering, explaining the structural principles behind the creation of tall buildings and how they are designed to withstand earthquakes, high winds, fire and terrorist attack.
Analysing 29 of the most interesting recent skyscrapers from around the world, each project is illustrated in full colour, while the text, architects' drawings and details, show how each buildingis constructed and what innovative design features they incorporate.
