Every tall building on the drawing board today will spend more time serving its occupants AFTER the turn of the century than before it. What should today's professionals consider when studying the needs of tomorrow's people? The COUNCIL ON TALL BUILDINGS & URBAN HABITAT, headquartered at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, held its Fourth World Congress November 5 to 9, 1990, to answer that question. More than 500 delegates from 30 different countries attended--planners, architects, engineers, managers, building owners, educators & students. Now that important documentation is available: TALL BUILDINGS: 2000 & BEYOND - COLLECTED PAPERS (79 contributors, representing 20 countries, 67 manuscripts, 825 pages, $53.00). Filled with illustrations & tables, it is arranged into the following seven topical groups: Planning & Environmental Criteria, Development & Management, Systems & Concepts, Building Service Systems, Criteria & Loading, Tall Steel Buildings, Tall Concrete & Masonry Buildings. In addition, this volume includes highlights of special speeches as well as additional theme, technical, & special session talks. ALSO AVAILABLE is its companion volume, TALL BUILDINGS: 2000 & BEYOND PROCEEDINGS (ISBN 0-939493-05-5, 142 contributors representing 19 countries, 93 manuscripts, 1192pp., 1990, $63.50). Set of both: $87.00. Order from Council on Tall Buildings, Bldg. 13, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA 18015, FAX No.: (215) 758-4522.

"If you're an engineer or architect, you can't afford to be without this unique database of structural systems used in the design of some of the most important tall buildings erected to date." "Structural Systems for Tall Buildings reviews all major types of structural systems, including lateral load resisting systems ... gravity load resisting systems ... and systems for the future. The book explains how each is typically used for a given design problem, and discusses the pros and cons for each major type." "You'll find a handy classification system of tall buildings by structural type - plus solutions to special problems such as floor vibrations, damping for structural sway, lateral load design, and new experimental structural designs like outrigger stabilizers." "Filled with hundreds of drawings and photographs, this incomparable sourcebook features contributions from some of the most renowned engineers in the world." "With the help of this expert guide, you'll always be able to choose the best structural option for any project - one that can handle expected loads, is cost-effective and efficient to construct, and delivers the architectural solution sought by the client."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Sustainable Tall Building: A Design Primer is an accessible and highly illustrated guide, which primes those involved in the design and research of tall buildings to dramatically improve their performance. Using a mixture of original research and analysis, best-practice design thinking and a detailed look at exemplar case studies, author Philip Oldfield takes the reader through the architectural ideas, engineering strategies and cutting-edge technologies that are available to the tall building design team. The book takes a global perspective, examining high-rise design in different climates, cultures and contexts. It considers common functions such as high-rise housing and offices, to more radical designs such as vertical farming and vertical cemeteries. Innovation is provided by examining not only the environmental performance of tall buildings but also their social sustainability, guiding the reader through strategies to create successful communities at height. The book starts by critically appraising the sustainability of tall building architecture past and present, before demonstrating innovative ways for future tall buildings to be designed. These include themes such as climatically responsive architecture, siting a tall building in the city, zero-carbon towers, skygardens and community spaces at height, sustainable structural systems and novel façades. In doing so, the book provides essential reading for architects, engineers, consultants, developers, researchers and students engaged with sustainable design and high-rise architecture.

This work is a broad-ranging survey of high-rise architecture which touches on many issues that define the character and social and economic role of this important building type. The history and theory of high-rise design, along with programmmatic, structural, social, financial, operational, and urban issues are all covered in a comprehensive and insightful way.
