The Asian continent during the 1980s and 1990s has seen the development of hundreds of skyscrapers. Many of them match and some surpass the work done in the USA and Europe.
Tall Buildings of Asia & Australia is a spectacular selection of the tallest and most fascinating skyscrapers that have been constructed in Asia in the past three decades, particularly those built in the 1990s.
The book aims to spread awareness of buildings of outstanding value and that represent, more than other buildings around the world, a regional character. The book also previews future projects for the Asian region, with many of these destined to become landmarks and beacons in the rebirth of the Asian economy.
Featured architects include Harry Seidler & Associates, T.R. Hamzah & Yeang, I.M. Pei & Partners, Foster and Partners and Skidmore Owings & Merrill LLP.
This book is a companion volume to 100 of the World's Tallest Buildings and Sky High Living (to be published in 2002).publiarq.com
