Tony Hunt's Sketchbook illustrates the connection between brain and
hand in conceiving structural concepts and details as possible
solutions to structures in architecture. This new edition features
100 previously unpublished sketches. These sketches illustrate
alternative structural concepts, ideas and details developed by
Tony Hunt for over one hundred projects throughout his professional
life. They relate directly to projects built and unbuilt in the
field of structural engineering and were either produced at the
time of relevant design meetings or as a response to a problem
posed by an architect and are, therefore, a record of ideas
proposed at the particular time. They are a source of design
inspiration and an insight into the work of this well respected
engineer. Sketches of over 100 of Tony Hunt's projects provide an
excellent source of design inspiration Allows the reader to
visualise the design process through from start to finish Gain an
insight into the lifetime's work of this influential structural
engineer

Monuments to power and prestige; supreme achievements of
engineering and design; reassuring landmarks; phallic symbols;
testimonies to the human spirit--no other building form arouses as
much controversy as the skyscraper, which is getting taller every
day. After a century during which Chicago and New York went
unchallenged as home to the world's tallest modern buildings, the
crown has been snatched by Kuala Lumpur's twin Petronas Towers,
soon to be trumped in turn by Shanghai. This race for the clouds
obscures the profound changes taking place in the design and
construction of skyscrapers; a newgeneration model is
energy-efficient, radically designed, and an essential component of
sustainable urban design. This striking book accompanies renowned
architect Norman Foster's selection of the most exciting current
and future skyscraper projects. Chris Abel examines the cultural
and technological changes behind the emergence of this new breed of
tall building. The illustrations include drawings, models, and
plans.
