Description
This book is an authoritative guide to the key technical aspects to consider in generating, understanding and evaluating tall building proposals. Written by highly respected practitioners with specialist knowledge, the book is aimed at clients, statutory authorities, architects and other agencies seeking to understand tall buildings from a strategic standpoint.
The distinct issues under consideration include urban design, architecture, engineering, life safety, construction economics, market economics and building occupancy.
Illustrated throughout in full colour, the books geographical context is primarily the UK, with a focus on London. It describes the features that distinguish a tall building from those of conventional height in technical, functional, aesthetic and planning terms by reference to case studies such as the Heron, Columbus, London Bridge and Minerva towers, 122 Leadenhall Street, Canary Wharf, Tower 42 and Centrepoint.
With attention to tall buildings gathering steam across the UK, Tall Buildings: A Strategic Design Guide is an invaluable tool for anyone hoping to understand fully these technically distinct and potentially beautiful structures.

Richard Kauntze, Chief Executive, Bristish Council for Offices
When we think about the world’s major cities, we increasingly think of tall buildings like London’s Gherkin: such buildings can develop an iconic status before they are even finished. With ever more proposals for tall buildings being made every year, this strategic guide is very timely and does a superb job in presenting an overview of the technical aspects of tall buildings in urban environments.
