This third edition of Designing Tall Buildings is an enhanced and accessible reference that guides the reader through the fundamental principles of designing high-rise buildings.This new edition includes four new chapters, including initial concepts for tall building design, techniques for optimization, considerations for carbon and the use of alternative materials such as timber. The third edition also includes 300 additional illustrations, and current code requirements and equations. Each chapter focuses on a theme central to tall-building design, giving a comprehensive overview of the related architectural and structural engineering concepts. Author Mark Sarkisian, PE, SE, NAE, LEED, provides clear definitions of technical terms and important equations, gradually developing the reader's knowledge. Projects drawn from SOM's vast portfolio of built high-rises, many of which Sarkisian engineered, demonstrate these concepts. The book considers the influence of particular site geology, wind conditions, and seismicity. With this contextual knowledge, the reader can develop structural systems best suited for a tower that are not only safe, but constructible and economical. Sarkisian specifically addresses the influence of nature in design, urging the integration of structure and architecture for building of superior performance, sustainability, and aesthetic excellence.This third edition is a must-have reference for students and designers.

Written by scholars and activists, Atlas of Green Energy Transitions: Frontiers of Power, Conflict, and Possibilities employs immersive first-person narrative descriptions and rich imagery to tell the oft-revealing stories of contestation, exploitation, and complication within the landscapes upon which the world's green energy transition depends: the unsanctioned cobalt mines of the Congo, the solar farms clearing vast tracts of the Mojave Desert, the scattered e-waste operations of Zimbabwe, among others. Organized around the global supply chain, each chapter traces an abiotic protagonist from extraction to consumption, exploring the ecological and cultural contexts of its use in renewable energy technologies.In response to these stories, counternarratives propose alternatives to silver-bullet ecomodernism, advocating for just practices and reciprocal relationships with our host landscapes. Grounded in the specificity of place, the collection heightens awareness of land relations and global interconnection. It not only engages with the urgent realities of the energy transition but also showcases landscape architecture's unique ability to visualize environmental challenges, prompt interdisciplinary action, and imagine transformative futures. The book targets an audience of students and practitioners of the built environment while seeking to inspire the inner designer in all readers.
