Bioclimatic Skyscapers Revised Edition
Editorial Reviews Book Description Ken Yeang is an inventive and prolific architect. Underlying the buildings and projects of the last 15 years--updated in this new edition--is a program of cutting edge research, development and design, focusing on a new building type, the bioclimatic skyscraper--tall buildings whose architecture derives from a systematic understanding of the role climate can play in finding forms and technologies that are energy efficient and that enhance the quality of life for occupants. The projects described here represent stages in that program, showing a commitment to innovative design achieved in a commercially-competitive context. The book also presents the theoretical framework for Yeang's design work, and looks to the future, to explorations of wind energy and new environmentally-friendly or reactive materials. About the Author Ken Yeang trained at the Architectural Association and received a PhD for research into ecological factors in the built environment from the University of Cambridge. Since 1976 he has been in practice with Tengku Dato Robert Hamzah as TR Hamzah and Yean Sdn Bhd, with offices in Kuala Lumpur and Penang.
