Tall buildings

Al MoMA, fino al 27 settembre, una mostra sugli edifici alti: Tall buildings, appunto, visitabile anche online (flash), con delle interesanti sezioni dedicate agli aspetti bioclimatici, alle soluzioni strutturali, al fattore aerodinamico.

"This exhibition presents large-scale models, drawings, and photographs of twenty-five skyscrapers from around the world. Designed within the last decade, these buildings redefine the genre for the twenty-first century.

Organized by Terence Riley, The Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art, and Guy Nordenson, Structural Engineer, New York, and Associate Professor of Architecture and Structures, Princeton University.

The exhibition is the second in a series of five exhibitions presented by The Lily Auchincloss Fund for Contemporary Architecture.."
