Architecture's leading thinkers and practitioners examine both the
global phenomenon of the tall building and its adaptation to the
Asian-Pacific context in this detailed case study. The evershifting
profile of modern cities, coupled with a lack of comprehensive city
planning, pose important architectural and aesthetic questions
about towers' effects on culture and historic city centers.
Pressing concerns about environmental sustainability and building
economics are also addressed in this strikingly designed book,
which draws on a diverse array of examples, including the Dong
Towers of Southern China, high-rise housing in Hong Kong and
Australia, and the iconic towers of Seidler, PTW, Foster, Koolhaas,
Mayne and Ingenhoven & Architectus.
