With the majority of Earth's population now residing in urban areas, city-makers have an obligation to forge a more viable, sustainable urban habitat, with increased urban density playing an important role. Tall buildings need to be seen as integrated pieces of urban infrastructure, dedicated to improving quality of life in the city as a whole. This requires a cohesive, multi-disciplinary response.Providing a global overview of dense urban development, this book explores the projects, technologies, and approaches currently reshaping skylines and urban spaces worldwide. In this edition, innovations in the constituent disciplines that bring tall buildings to life, and even extend their lives-construction, the engineering of façades, fire & risk, geotechnical engineering, interior space, MEP, renovation, and structural engineering-are all explored. The Tall Buildings + Urban Habitat book is produced annually by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), the global authority on the inception, design, construction, and operation of tall buildings and future cities.

“Stunningly simple, this field guide is a survival book for any budding decorator,” by “famed DC-based interior designer and blogger of Pure Style Home.” (USA Today) Lauren Liess, an interior designer and founder of the popular blog Pure Style Home, fuses her love of design and the great outdoors into all her work. In Habitat: The Field Guide to Decorating, Lauren invites readers to bring nature inside by mixing the textures of natural elements such as wood and stone with eclectic groupings of modern and quirky vintage pieces. Readers will be inspired by the unique style of these rooms, which include lovely framed botanical prints and Liess’s own textile patterns inspired by wildflowers and weeds. Divided into three sections, Habitat shows readers the fundamental elements of design, such as color, lighting, and furniture; addresses the intangibles of designing a space, such as aesthetics and creating a mood; and tackles unique room-specific challenges in every part of the house. “Designer Lauren Liess shares her favorite, not-always-conventional ideas for livening up any space with art.” ―Country Living “Habitat looks at incorporating natural textures such as wood into your decorating scheme, along with florals, nature inspired textiles and vintage décor.” ―Real Style Network “Rich with thoughtful advice on how to create livable, comfortable rooms that bring the beauty of the outdoors inside.” ―Garden & Gun
