Skyscraper Manual: From Concepts to Construction Methods
No Customer Reviews
It's hard to believe that the world's first skyscraper was built in 1885 - the ten-storey Home Insurance Building in Chicago. Little more than a century later the highest skyscraper is the 163-storey Burj Khalifa in Dubai, standing 828 metres tall. By 2020, the 1,000-metre Kingdom Tower in Jeddah will take first place.
The designs are becoming more extraordinary, but behind all the steel and glass how is a skyscraper logistically constructed?...
