The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) is the
world's foremost authority on tall buildings. This book chronicles
the annual awards process, in which the CTBUH recognizes
outstanding tall buildings and design innovations that advance the
potential of integrated sustainability in cities across the world.
One winner is chosen from each of four geographical regions
(Americas, Asia & Australasia, Europe, and Middle East &
Africa). The title of overall Best Tall Building Worldwide is then
presented to one of the four regional winners. The CTBUH Innovation
Award recognizes a specific area of recent innovation in the tall
building industry that has been incorporated into the design of, or
significantly tested in, the construction, operation, or
refurbishment of a tall building project. The 10 Year Award
recognizes proven value and performance (across one or more of a
wide range of criteria) after a building has been complete and in
operation for at least a decade. Additionally, the CTBUH awards two
annual Lifetime Achievement awards to individuals who have made a
significant contribution to the design or technical advancement of
tall buildings. More than an awards book, this volume serves as a
global overview of tall building construction and activity in a
given year, providing in-depth description of the buildings' design
and significance and accompanied by stunning images, detailed
drawings and plans. The book also features the official current
list of the "100 Tallest Buildings in the World" as the CTBUH is
the internationally recognized official arbiter of tall building
height. This book provides fascinating and inspiring reading for
all those interested in the planning, design, and construction of
tall buildings.

"Pop Art: A Critical History" chronicles one of the most
controversial art movements of the century. The anthology draws
from a great range of sources, from the leading art magazines and
art historical journals to newspapers and news magazines such as
the "New York Times, Life," and "Newsweek." What emerges from this
rich cross-section of critical and journalistic commentary is a
fascinating view of the tumultuous rise of Pop art and its
establishment as a major force in contemporary art. A broad
selection of articles traces the emergence of the movement itself
in England and America, as seen through the eyes of the working
critics of the day. The focus then narrows to present in-depth
writings on the four major Pop artists: Roy Lichtenstein, Claes
Oldenburg, James Rosenquist, and Andy Warhol, along with an
examination of many other artists involved in the movement. From
reviews of the very first shows of many of these artists to
interviews with them, to news stories about their collectors and
their lifestyles, "Pop Art: A Critical History "represents the most
complete and coherent record of Pop art yet published. The book
concludes with an invaluable chronology of the major '60s
exhibitions by Pop artists. Among the contributors are Lawrence
Alloway, John Coplans, Donald Judd, Max Kozloff, Gerald Nordland,
Peter Plagens, Barbara Rose, Robert Rosenblum, John Russell, Gene
Swenson, and Sidney Tillim.
