Tall Buildings presents a focused study of twenty-five tall buildings. Each project was designed withing the last decade for sites around the world by an international groups of architects and engineers. In making our selections, we considered three fundamental aspects of the tall building: technology, urbanism, and program. Collectively, these projects address the most current concerns confronting building tall, from issues of safety, structural soundness, and sustainability to programmatic and formal inventions that rethink the notion of the street and the top-down structure of traditional hierarchies.
