Praise for previous editions: "Marriage mentions having written this book with graduates of architecture in mind. However, anyone who might be involved in the design and construction of tall buildings in the course of their careers will do well to consult it. The book equips its readers with the tooling necessary to, first, ask the right questions and, then, distinguish those who have the answers from those who don't. Regardless of where an architect or engineer is in his or her career, this is an essential guide to building tall and, most importantly, to doing so successfully." Maria Mingallon, excerpt from Architecture New Zealand, May 2020 (Issue 3) "Skyscraper design has emerged as one of the most important and most complex tasks facing builders today. Tall: the design and construction of high-rise architecture explains how skyscrapers are conceived, designed, and built in remarkably clear prose, breaking down their economic and technical requirements into lucid chapters. Along the way, Guy Marriage presents a readily accessible guide to building structures, materials, economics, and finishes, covering the whole life of a tall building from its conception to its disassembly. Tall: the design and construction of high-rise architecture is an important addition for students and practitioners in a range of fields, from engineering and architecture to finance and facilities management, and makes for an essential companion for anyone navigating the tightly integrated systems and spaces of a skyscraper in design or construction.
