Summary

"Eco Skyscrapers are synonymous with Ken Yeang, and the architectural firm of Llewelyn Davies Yeang and its sister company, T.R. Hamzah & Yeang Sdn. Bhd. Yeang has pioneered the application of ecological principles to the high-rise building type, a new genre of the skyscraper typology. The eco skyscraper is a tail building that integrates with the ecology of the locality - physically, systemically and temporally." "The projects described in this book represent stages in that research programme, showing a commitment to innovative design achieved in a commercially competitive context. The book also presents the theoretical base for Yeang's design work, and looks to the future to explorations in environmentally friendly design strategies for "green" skyscrapers."--Jacket
