The first of its kind, “Designing Tall Buildings” is an
accessible reference that guides you through the fundamental principles of
designing high-rises. Each chapter focuses on one theme central to
tall-building design, giving you a comprehensive overview of the related
architecture and structural engineering concepts. Mark P. Sarkisian provides
clear definitions of technical terms and introduces important
equations, to help you gradually develop your knowledge. Later chapters
allow you to explore more complex applications, such as biomimicry. Projects drawn from Skidmore,
Owings and Merrill’s vast catalog of built high-rises, many of which
Sarkisian designed, demonstrate these concepts. This book advises you to
consider the influence of a particular site’s geology, wind conditions, and
seismicity. Using this contextual knowledge and analysis, you can
determine what types of structural solutions are best suited for a tower on
that site. You can then conceptualize and devise efficient structural systems
that are not only safe, but also constructible and economical. Sarkisian also
addresses the influence of nature in design, urging you to
integrate structure and architecture for buildings of superior
performance, sustainability, and aesthetic excellence.
