520 _aThe book tall building and vertical urbanism look at the evolution of tall building and their relationship with urban growth, land location, economy, climate and ecology. various iconic and landmark examples explain the context and process. A tall building is not just upscaling of low rise building, but requires altogether a different approach in its design, structure, construction, facade, services, climatic system and safety from fire and other risks.
