Requesting for Suggestion regarding Books on High Rise Design - appropriate for Architecture Studio (University Third Year).
Topic should discuss
1. Structure for Architects (Easy to understand Tall building Structures)
2. Sustainable Tall Building Design (Tropical High Rise)
3. Analysis for Tall Building
4. Envelop Design
5. Wind Simulation (May be software that is free for students to use in class and easy to operate)
6. Understanding Structure of Tall Building- (Easy to operate thematic analysis for architects- software based)
7. Making it energy efficient
8. Socio-environment impact of tall building
9. Handbook for Architecture students
Looking Forward.
Hello Raj,
The following books can be very helpful
1. Tall Buildings: structural systems and aerodynamic Form by Mehmet Halis Günel and Hüseyin Emre Ilgin
2. Structures for Architects by Ramsey Dabby and Ashwani Bedi
3. Modern Construction Handbook by ANDREW WATIS
4. Curtain Wall Systems: A Primer -Edited by Ali M. Memari
5. Architectural Design in Steel by Peter Trebilcock and Mark Lawson
6. Architect's Handbook of Construction Detailing by David Kent Ballast
Hope you will find them very useful
Much regards
Raj Bhai,
We found Ken Yeang's 'Bioclimatic Skyscraper' much useful back in our highrise design studio, he has few later volumes:
- 'The skyscraper bioclimatically considered: a design primer'
- Two volumes of 'Eco Skyscraper'.
Two more immediate suggestions:
- 'High Rise Manual: Typology & Design, Construction & Technology' by Johann Eisele
- Tall Buildings: A strategic design guide by STELITZ.
Have a look at the following paper:
Integration of solar-climatic vision and structural design in architecture of tall buildings
