What factors can inform and inspire the design of a tall building? What are the design options and implications in terms of architectural organisation of form and core? How can a tall building design respond to the cultural and social characteristics of a region? How can a tall building achieve a sustainable design? This design primer answers these questions and more, by exploring the architectural design opportunities and strategic decisions available to the designer. Aimed at those architects new to the typology, the book balances practical issues with the vision and cutting edge...

LabStudio: Design Research between Architecture and Biology introduces the concept of the research design laboratory in which funded research and trans-disciplinary participants achieve radical advances in science, design, and applied architectural practice. The book demonstrates to natural scientists and architects alike new approaches to more traditional design studio and hypothesis-led research that are complementary, iterative, experimental, and reciprocal. These originate from 3-D spatial biology and generative design in architecture, creating philosophies and practices that...

This book is an effort to develop the idea of spiritual sustainability in architecture and explain how it might manifest itself in the cultural environment of the Hiberno-British Archipelago. This is not in any narrow nationalistic sense, for it transcends the closed minds of nationalists--it is the attempt to understand local human cultures in their global context. It is a thinking through a theology of nature, the place of humanity within the natural world, and how architecture presents a unique opportunity for us to live in harmony with sacred Creation.
