Replacing the façade towers of the cathedrals of earlier eras, with the advent of the 20th century, skyscrapers became the defining features of cityscapes and since the turn of the millennium among their most prestigious and coveted architectural challenges. For quite some time now, purely orthogonal towers have been abandoned in favor of the creative freedom of contours and the plastic volume of blobs.

Most current projects are being implemented in the Arab-Asian realm, such as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the world's highest building. At the same time, in the USA, the native home of skyscrapers, new towers are also under construction. In Europe also, buildings are reaching for the sky. In addition to the key projects of this skyscraper renaissance, this book presents the most spectacular towers still under construction as well as future-oriented experimental designs.

Un drama que puede que no quedase resuel...

El libro expone esta forma de trabajo mediante maquetas en sección que permiten ver no solo la volumetría exterior, sino los resu...

  • TRANSPARENT ARCHITECTURE
    GILBERT, GORDON
    First used in the 15th century, the word transparent has origins in the Medieval Latin – transparere, meaning to show through. It’s original Latin derivation is trans + parere, meaning to show oneself. The projects in this book point to an architecture that seemingly suggests a multiplicity of qualities. Paradoxically, it is also an architecture that reveals itself and its own...

Su herencia compartida y su diálogo constante les permite atar cabos sueltos en sus proyectos, desde la distribución del programa hasta la construcción...
