How To Read Skyscrapers by Edward Denison & Nick Beech

How To Read Skyscrapers offers a deep and rich understanding of the skyscraper by providing a comprehensive account of this unique and captivating building type. Throughout history, the story of the skyscraper has been defined by our desire for ascendance - politically, militarily, economically, religiously, culturally and, of course, physically.

These spectacular superstructures epitomise more than architectural aspiration; they excite the imagination and inspire awe, and this book provides a visual reference for the most important skyscrapers around the world.
