HOK Tall Buildings is a visually engaging, accessible reference
guide highlighting some of the world's most innovative tall
buildings. Written by global design, architecture, engineering and
planning firm HOK, the book features creative conceptual designs,
projects under construction and built high-rises worldwide.
Throughout the book, central themes guiding the design of these
tall buildings begin to emerge. These include a focus on creating
high-performance, sustainable, iconic, efficient and mixed-use
structures that increase the density of urban environments. The
global teams at HOK excel at designing intelligent,
high-performance tall buildings that become symbols of their time
and place. HOK Tall Buildings chronicles the firm's best recent
designs for high-rises around the world, including: - In Saudi
Arabia, an iconic centerpiece that anchors a new office district. -
In Azerbaijan, a flame-inspired trio of towers that transforms
Baku's skyline. - In South Korea, an iconic residential gateway to
the neighborhoods of Incheon's dynamic northern district. Each
high-rise profiled in the book is designed to blend human need with
environmental stewardship, value creation, sense of place, and
science and art. Gain insight into the minds and approaches of
HOK's global design teams as you peruse floor plans, sketches,
renderings and photographs of dozens of dynamic tall buildings.
Learn how an integrated design process enables teams to solve
profound functional and technical challenges while igniting the
imagination. Discover how designers of tall buildings can balance
internal functions with the external demands of site, climate, and
culture to create memorable, sustainable structures that enrich
people's lives.
