Based on the landmark international best seller Skyscrapers, this gorgeous calendar celebrates some of today's most significant superstructures, as well as beloved classics from around the world.
Each month in the Skyscrapers calendar features a different building, including myriad "supertalls" such as Shanghai Tower, Jin Mao Tower, and the Shanghai World Financial Center in China, as well as the barrierbusting work of architects such as Adrian Smith, who designed the current tall champion, Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Smaller images present the interiors and significant design features, building plans, diagrams, the building's historical background, technological information, and more. Monthly grids include important dates in architectural history, as well as major North American, British, and Australian and New Zealand holidays.
