Cet ouvrage présente en détail le concept développé par Dominique Perrault pour la métamorphose de la tour Montparnasse. Convaincu que cet édifice participe à la construction d'une ville durable, l'architecte propose un Paris à la hauteur d'une métropole mondiale en unissant vision politique, imagination et savoir-faire. Il développe un ensemble architectural résolument tourné vers l'avenir, démonstration qu'il est possible de construire des immeubles de grande hauteur qui soient responsables, résilients, économes et parfaitement intégrés à leur environnement. Respectant l'emprise foncière de la tour existante, le projet dépasse la question posée en augmentant les surfaces par une extension hissant la tour à plus de 300m, et en diversifiant les programmes.

The Vertical City transports us to a dystopian and terrifying future in which the history and the critical capacity of citizens have been nullified. However, a group of people strive to maintain human dignity and fight against the urban totalitarianism of the Great Families that base their social privilege on the supposed purity of blood. The new civilization dwells in endless skyscrapers built for man by the natural disasters that ravages the mainland. Men and women coexist in an alienated society that does not question the past, the present or the future; the cohesive element that allows them to move forward is fear ... fear of the unknown, of the different. Fear of mestizos. All the inhabitants of the Vertical City have 'pure' blood, while the mestizos have been abandoned in the subsoil, under the millions of tons that feed the new social order. The story reflects on the interest of others to climb and the need for others to descend, a constant intrigue full of games of power, revenge and hatred. It is a constant adventure to illuminate the unknown, rediscover the past to be able to face the future. With a climbing plot and full of surprises, this novel combines elements of science fiction with the adventure to carry out an unexpected ending in which no one is who he seems to be.

In den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten sind weltweit so viele Hochhäuser gebaut worden wie nie zuvor. Auch in Europa, wo lange Zeit vor allem Kirchtürme und Schornsteine vertikale Akzente setzten, prägen sie vermehrt das Gesicht der Städte. Die neuere monumentale Architektur ist mit vielfältigen Versprechen, Begehrlichkeiten und Befürchtungen verknüpft. Am Beispiel von Paris, London und Wien diskutiert diese Studie, welche Vorstellungen von Urbanität dabei im Spiel sind. Sie verortet das vertikale Bauen im Spannungsfeld von globalisierten Vergleichshorizonten und städtischem Eigensinn. More high-rises have been built worldwide over the past two decades than ever before. Even in Europe, where vertical accents have traditionally been placed by steeples and chimneys, towering buildings are increasingly shaping the face of cities. This new monumental architecture is associated with a variety of promises, desires and fears. Based on the examples of Paris, London and Vienna, this study discusses the concepts of urbanity that come into play here. It contextualizes vertical construction in the field of tension between globalized horizons of comparison on the one hand and urban specificity on the other.

Award-winning photographer Horst Hamann's vertical reconnaissance trips through the world's most beautiful and romantic city have yielded an astonishing array of images in this stunning pictorial tribute to Paris. Sensitized to vertical perspectives since publishing his best-selling New York Vertical and equipped with a new panoramic camera, he painstakingly set up shot after shot, often finding himself precariously balanced off Notre Dames gargoyles, the balconies of the Pompidou Center-even the Eiffel Tower. His stark black and white compositions offer unique vertical reinterpretations of some of Europe's most recognizable cityscapes. Horst Hamann has become famous during the last twenty years for his panoramic photography. His internationally acclaimed and widely exhibited photographs of New York have been published in the best-selling New York Vertical (teNeues) and, more recently, in One Night on Broadway. Born in Germany, he is now based in New York.

Paris is the most visited city in the world. This romantic metropolis has for centuries captured the hearts and imaginations of countless writers, poets, musicians, artists, and travellers. Paris is renowned for the splendid architecture of its individual buildings and, even more so, for the harmony of the city¿s overall composition. In Paris there is a uniformity and majesty to the limestone façades of its residences and palaces. It is a city in which urban planning has long played an important part. Visitors admire the order of the Place des Vosges, developed in the 17th century, the vistas created by Baron Haussmann¿s boulevards in the 1860s, and the continuing efforts to create innovative, attractive low cost housing begun at the start of the 20th century. It is architecture and planning meant to please and to impress, from Les Invalides, the Ecole Militaire, and the Arc de Triomphe to the Grand Projects pursued by President Mitterrand inspired public buildings by I.M. Pei, Paul Andreu, and Jean Nouvel. Building Paris is Bruce Marshall's account of how Paris came to be the most admired city in the world. Mixing anecdote and history, Marshall illuminates rare and sometimes unpublished images taken from the vast archives of Getty Images, Roger Viollet, and other sources. Examples include photographs recording the restoration of NotreDame in 1844, the destruction of the Hôtel de Ville and the Tuileries palace during the Communard uprising in 1871, and Théophile Féau's spectacular sequence of the Eiffel Tower being built for the 1889 World's Fair. Thematic essays bring the history to life and detailed picture captions explain the ingenuity and inventiveness of architects and engineers, masons and glaziers, sculptors and landscapers.

Each century has its own unique approach toward addressing the problem of high density and the 21st century is no exception. As cities try to cope with rapid population growth - adding 2.5 billion dwellers by 2050 - and grapple with destructive sprawl, politicians, planners and architects have become increasingly interested in the vertical city paradigm. Unfortunately, cities all over the world are grossly unprepared for integrating tall buildings, as these buildings may aggravate multidimensional sustainability challenges resulting in a “vertical sprawl” that could have worse consequences than “horizontal” sprawl. By using extensive data and numerous illustrations this book provides a comprehensive guide to the successful and sustainable integration of tall buildings into cities. A new crop of skyscrapers that employ passive design strategies, green technologies, energy-saving systems and innovative renewable energy offers significant architectural improvements. At the urban scale, the book argues that planners must integrate tall buildings with efficient mass transit, walkable neighbourhoods, cycling networks, vibrant mixed-use activities, iconic transit stations, attractive plazas, well-landscaped streets, spacious parks and engaging public art. Particularly, it proposes the Tall Building and Transit Oriented Development (TB-TOD) model as one of the sustainable options for large cities going forward. Building on the work of leaders in the fields of ecological and sustainable design, this book will open readers’ eyes to a wider range of possibilities for utilizing green, resilient, smart, and sustainable features in architecture and urban planning projects. The 20 chapters offer comprehensive reading for all those interested in the planning, design, and construction of sustainable cities.
