This paper outlines the major influences on tall building design in the early stages of the 21st Century. At this unprecedented time in terms of the scale and number of tall buildings being built globally, the paper charts some of the recent trends in tall buildings, and suggests some of the drivers. It also looks to the growing challenges in the future and, through design-research case studies undertaken by the author at the Universities of Nottingham, UK and the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, suggests design responses to face some of these challenges. |
