Summary
"This book examines the tower as the architectural expression of a long-term commitment to the city, arguing that development must be driven not only by property value and architectural ingenuity but also by a responsibility to collective memory and to a common humanity. These public commitments find architectural expression in a tectonic radically different to that of contemporary patterns of development. Taking Berlin's Alexanderplatz as an opportunity for studying the role of the skyscraper within the urban fabric, the volume presents a series of prompts, provocations, and projects to address the challenge of designing a tower that can be understood as a monolithic whole, even if it is assembled from discrete parts"--Amazon.com.
