Synopsis
This book is the first to deal with the urban design theory of skyscrapers. Underlying Yeang2s projects is a programme of cutting edge research that focuses on the new design of the skyscraper, a design that derives from the recognized importance that climate has on finding energy efficent resources., This book is invaluable to the reader interested in tall buildings, to architects and engineers seeking a new approach for their design and to investors and developers seeking to create more marketable and habitable high-rise dwellings and skyscraper commercial spaces. It puts forward Ken Yeang2s ideas for the skyscraper as a city-in-the-sky, in a novel design approach that resembles urban design and planning as against the design of a conventional building in a high-rise structure. The book proposes a new vertical theory of urban design and discusses Yeang2s theoretical propositions and design concepts that include those for de-compartmenting the skyscraper2s built form, for urban analysis as a three-dimensional matrix and for a strategy to map the land use of the skyscraper. It also suggest ideas for the diversification of vertical land uses, the creation of public realms and places-in-the-sky, vertical landscaping, creating high-rise neighbourhoods, vertical townscape, vertical transportation and accessibility, the skyscraper as an urban ecosystem and other related topics. The book2s many ideas and its theoretical approach radically change the current design approach to tall buildings to make them into more humane environments and be more satisfying to its inhabitants in its endeavour to re-create the ideal conditions at the ground now up in the sky. The book is illustrated by numerous diagrams and illustrations. This book is a sequel to Yeang2s earlier book, The Skyscraper, Bioclimatically Considered (Wiley-Academy)., Unique treatment of urban design of skyscrapers. * Includes progressive ideas about vertical landscaping. * Provides new mapping techniques useful in both conventional and vertical urban design.
