Ecology of the Sky

Ecology of the Sky, covers the most familiar ground of the two and deals exclusively with Yeang's generic concept of the 'bio-climatic skyscraper'. Ranging from the earliest, relatively conventional-looking towers in Kuala Lumpur to the more recent and exotic, free form creations in Singapore, Mecca, Frankfurt, London and elsewhere, each project is presented in lavish detail. The tasty visuals and project descriptions, which are all written by Richards, are also backed up by copious graphs, diagrams and factual information in the manner of an encyclopedia, charting Yeang's increasingly rigorous, research-based approach. The contents far exceed what is normally
expected in architectural monographs and easily surpass previous books on Yeang's related work - a must buy for both old and new fans.
