Features of Supertall PDF By Stefan Al

We are living in a new urban age, and its most tangible expression is the “supertall”: megastructures that are dramatically bigger, higher, and more ambitious than any in history. Supertall PDF By Stefan Al

Cities around the world are racing to build the first mile-high building, stretching the limits of engineering and design as never before.

In this fascinating work of urban history and design, TED resident Stefan Al—himself an experienced architect—explores the factors that have led to this worldwide boom. He reveals the marvelous and underappreciated feats of engineering that make today’s supertalls a reality, from double-decker elevators that silently move up to 50 miles per hour to the sophisticated blend of polymers and steel fibers that enables concrete to withstand 8,000 tons of pressure per square meter. Taking readers behind the scenes of the building and design of remarkable megastructures, both from the past (the Empire State Building, St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower) and the present (Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, London’s Shard, Shanghai Tower), Al demonstrates the impact of these innovations.

Yet while the supertall is undoubtedly a testament to great technological victories, it can come at an environmental and social cost. Focusing on four global cities—London, New York, Hong Kong, and Singapore—Al examines the risks of wealth inequality, carbon emissions, and contagion that stem from supertalls. And he uncovers the latest innovations in sustainable building, from skyscrapers made of wood to tree-covered buildings, that promise to yield a better urban future.

Featuring more than thirty architectural drawings, Supertall is both a fascinating exploration of our greatest accomplishments and a powerful argument for a more equitable way forward.

This book was amazing and changed my life
October 21, 2016

This book was amazing and changed my life. I would recommend it to anyone. I have already recommended it to family because of the impact it had on me. It really sparked my curiosity and so now I have ordered 4 more books all on social psych and body language. As an introvert and someone who was never taught how to communicate I have lived a life of loneliness. Now I understand that I can easily learn the skills needed to develop strong relationships in business and my personal life. Thank you Ian.

Yes I would recommend to a friend

Just finished the book and all in all it was a good read! Some of the chapters felt like review or “common sense”. BUT I found plenty of chapters to be incredibly insightful and practical. Something I look for in the books I read is how practical the teachings can be in our day to day lives. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of actionable advice given within this book. Finally, YES. Yes I would recommend this quick read to anyone and everyone. A few of the chapters I will even go back and review from time to time.

From Need to Want…

When I first purchased this book, it was because I had a need to learn to communicate better. I expected the read to be boring, but knew it had to be done. As I began reading, that need soon turned to a want. I wanted to read and learn more about communicating. Ian, your writing, the way you explained the different ways to communicate, made it easy to read and learn. I also learned a lot about myself and was able to apply these learnings instantly upon reading them. I look forward to reading more of your books. Thank you!

Effective communication is an essential tool to possess in today’s world. Being able to articulate your views and express yourself is critical in business and personal relationships. This book does an effective job at looking at all the different mechanisms of communication, from actual verbal talk to non verbal cues such as body language. The subject matter is covered in great detail and depth. Well written. Highly recommend.

Its alright

I find the examples peppered with too much of one’s own experiences, more examples of applying to real life in different situations would have been more helpful
