Summary, etc. "Supreme achievements of engineering and design, corporate icons, expressions of modernity and civic pride, real estate bonanzas, familiar landmarks: whether any or all of these things, skyscrapers arouse more controversy than any other building form." "And they are suddenly getting much bigger and more numerous; nowhere more so than in Asia Pacific. After a century during which Chicago and New York went unchallenged, the crown for the world's tallest building has been snatched from America by Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Towers, which will themselves soon be trumped by developments in Shanghai." "Yet this race for the clouds obscures the more profound changes taking place in the design and construction of tall buildings. Published to accompany 'Sky High', a skyscraper show curated by Norman Foster within the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition, this book traces the evolution of vertical architecture around the world. An incisive text and numerous colour illustrations survey early iconic skyscrapers in America, the changing skylines of the Pacific Rim and the most recent energy-efficient towers in Europe, examining how attitudes towards tall buildings are changing. In particular this book investigates the vital role of fall buildings in housing the fast-expanding populations of the megacities of today and tomorrow."--BOOK JACKET.
