内容简介
A compelling preview of the world of the twenty-first-century city dweller can be seen in the visionary work of an architect whose bioclimatic approach to skyscraper design sets new standards for high-rise construction. This comprehensive monograph examines the design elements that characterize Yeang's famous "green skyscrapers": low-energy, passive techniques for lighting and heating, environmentally friendly materials for facades and interiors, well-planned pedestrian linkages, public zones, innovative multiple-use areas, and stunning vistas. Numerous examples include built projects designed by his Malaysian firm, as well as theoretical case studies. 100 color illustrations.
