Sky High Living: Contemporary High-rise Apartment

There are many books about tall buildings, but few focus exclusively on residential high-rises. Perhaps this is because they are traditionally not as high as commercial high-rises. However, this is no longer the case; not only do many now compare with other high-rise buildings when it comes to height, but a building designed for living is particularly interesting in that it conveys a sense of the purpose and function of the building. Sky High Living explores a selection of the most arresting residential tall buildings from around the world, predominantly from North America and Asia. Compiled by Georges Binder, building and data expert on high-rise design.
