Publisher Description:
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Skyscrapers have become synonymous with success in large urban areas worldwide -- an outward symbol of prosperity to the rest of the world. Contemporary architects are faced with the challenge of making their won tall building designs a unique addition to skylines. This book looks at some of the best architects in the tall-building genre and the buildings that have made them famous. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge.
