Supertall Buildings





















"초고층건물" has been much discussed in our urban discussions recently. As buildings go further higher up, some even use a new term of "극초고층," while no one clearly distinguishes 고층, 초고층, 극초고층 in height. Here is an interesting story of Adrian Smith, a former SOM member and architect of Burj Dubai. His Burj Bubai building is kwown as world tallest building under construction. Yet, he says he is already designing taller buildings.

hello,Mr KJK.
currently i am doing some research about urban planning and regeneration.
i would like to seek some opinions or maybe information about urban regeneration from you.

these are my research topics:
1.How architecture played a role as a catalyst in the urban conditions?

2.What are the effects architecture has on the urban conditions?

i hope that Mr KJK can give me a helping hand upon my research topic.
and this is my email: lyong75@gmail.com

thank you.

yours sincerely.
