The book looks in depth at the skyscraper builtform and at the ways in which this tall building-type can be designed to be as ecologically-sustainable as possible.
It reviews and illustrates the many eco-towers designed by Ken Yeang of T. R. Hamzah & Yeang Sdn. Bhd. and their experiments to try to design the skyscraper as a man-made ecological system.
The book is both graphically and photographically superbly-illustrated and contains detailed technical analyses by Yeang's engineering and building technology collaborators.publiarq.com
