Présentation de l'éditeur :
Welcoming another direction in their investigations, A+T presents a new
publication that focuses on hybrid buildings. Specific in their use and
design, this new generation of building structures enable a combination
of different programmes and encourages a range of urban uses including
housing, public spaces, offices and civic facilities.
Among the twelve
high-rise hybrid projects examined are Steven Holl Architects' Linked
Hybrid, Beijing; RCR arcquitectes' The Edge, Dubai; the Tour Signal,
Puteaux by Jean Nouvel and OMA's Dubai Renaissance, Dubai.
Further,
four recent projects in New York are examined in the context of the
future place for skyscrapers in architecture. All works are accompanied
by plans, elevations, photographs, computerised images and technical
notes.
