The floor plate. 7. Environment and health safety. 8. Vertical transportation. 9. Mechanical and electrical services and intelligent systems. 10. Façade, glazing and curtain walls. 11. Ecology and micro-climate. 12. Fire protection and safety.The book Tall Buildings and Vertical Urbanism looks at the evolution of tall buildings and their relationship with the urban growth, land, location, economy, climate and ecology. Various iconic and landmark examples explain the context and processes. A tall building is not just upscaling of a low-rise building, but requires altogether a different approach in its design, structure, construction, façade, services and climatic systems and safety from fire and other risks. These aspects have been explained in different chapters of the book. The book aims to trigger a debate for radical changes in architecture and urbanism. As such, the book targets on young architects, planners, engineers, developers and students.
