Summary:
Never before have so many high-rises been built. Spectacular skyscrapers with landmark character are not only appearing in boom cities like Dubai and Beijing or in the USA — the high-rise is also experiencing a renaissance in Europe. No type of building generates stronger emotions, but differentiated debate on these tower blocks only began recently. It is no longer merely a question of how many meters tall, but of new qualities in the construction of high-rise buildings, e.g. energy efficiency, sustainability, and social, economic and ecological compatibility. The projects of the International Highrise Award 2008 demonstrate current developments and so present the full range of contemporary high-rise construction, from utilisation to site-specifics.

Summary:
"Skyscraper Rivals" is the first book to examine the architecture of Wall Street between the wars through an array contemporary and archival images and an informed discussion of the financial, geographical, and historical forces that shaped this district. The book focuses on the AIG Building--once known as the Cities Service Building--and three other major towers in the financial district, in their race to be the tallest, the most modern, and the most lavish. We meet the tycoons who paid for these structures, the architects who designed them, the workers who laboured in them, and the artists and photographers who portrayed them. The economics of skyscraper construction and the real-estate market of Wall Street are explained; also included are illuminating details and anecdotes surrounding each building's history.

Summary:
From the Tower of Babel to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, from European cathedrals to the Twin Towers and the currently scandalous Freedom Tower, highrises have always been a symbol of mankind's cultural aspirations and technological achievements. The biennial International Highrise Award specifies that an ideal contemporary tower should make exceptional use of aesthetics, design and technology, and show cost-effectiveness, sustainability and integration into town planning. This album of the 2006 contenders honors foremost the winners, Jean Nouvel and Fermin Vasquez, who designed the Torre Agbar building in Barcelona. The Agbar Tower's distinctive rounded crown had already earned it a nominee spot in Cabinet Magazine's Most Phallic Building in the World Contest. Here, the Highrise Award's more serious honor cites the building's "expressive shape," "pulsating dynamism" and "a multi-layer outer skin that generates its varied and exciting appearance." Runners-up include Santiago Calatrava's Turning Torso in Malmo, Sweden.

Summary:
Avec l'apparition des gratte-ciel, véritables symboles de modernité urbaine, le paysage architectural des grandes métropoles connaît, dès la fin du XIXe siècle, des transformations majeures. Ces buildings spectaculaires, qui s'élancent dans les ciels de Tokyo, de Shanghai, de Riyad, de Londres ou de Chicago, sont non seulement les symboles de la croissance économique et financière de ces villes, mais aussi des œuvres d'art. Constructions innovantes -au niveau des techniques et des matériaux de construction - ou géants d'acier, de verre et de granit qui adaptent aux exigences de la modernité des éléments issus de l'architecture traditionnelle, les gratte-ciel transforment les paysages dans lesquels ils s'inscrivent. Si au début le principal défi était celui de la prouesse technique et du toujours plus haut, aujourd'hui les concepteurs privilégient l'habitabilité de l'immeuble et se montrent de plus en plus soucieux du bien-être environnemental. Les fonctions remplies par ces buildings dans un espace urbain en perpétuelle évolution sont très diverses : centres financiers ou administratifs, bureaux ou sièges d'entreprises, centres commerciaux ou hôtels. Cet ouvrage recense les gratte-ciel les plus spectaculaires et extravagants et raconte l'histoire de leur construction. Des images et des plans dévoilent la structure et l'organisation invisibles des buildings qui ont transformé le paysage architectural des métropoles. Les textes d'Antonino Terranova racontent toute la variété et l'originalité des gratte-ciel.
