  • Skyscrapers are often seen as a typically American phenomenon. This paper aims at demonstrating that in terms oif technology major developments are European and that, albeit in lesser number and not as high as in the USA, skyscrapers were also built in the late 19th century in countrries other than the USA. The paper concludes with an overview of late 19th century non-US skyscrapers.

  • Rapid urbanization, resource depletion, and limited land are further increasing the need for skyscrapers in city centers; therefore, it is imperative to enhance tall building performance efficiency and energy-generative capability. Potential performance improvements can be explored using parametric multi-objective optimization, aided by evaluation tools, such as computational fluid dynamics and energy analysis software, to visualize and explore skyscrapers' multi-resource, multi-system generative potential. An optimization-centered, software-based design platform can potentially enable the simultaneous exploration of multiple strategies for the decreased consumption and large-scale production of multiple resources. Resource Generative Skyscrapers (RGS) are proposed as a possible solution to further explore and optimize the generative potentials of skyscrapers. RGS can be optimized with waste-energy-harvesting capabilities by capitalizing on passive features of integrated renewable systems. This paper describes various resource-generation technologies suitable for a synergetic integration within the RGS typology, and the software tools that can facilitate exploration of their optimal use.

  • Urban architecture density is getting higher, and this trend is expected to continue in the future. Therefore, skyscrapers are being brought into relief as future alternative architecture beyond symbolic meaning in the aspect of demand and supply of urban space. However, skyscrapers which were newly built have many problems such as consumption of enormous amounts of energy, destruction of natural environment, and traffic jam. For this reason, environment-friendly skyscrapers based on the concept such as Green Building and Green Skyscraper started to be built around the world. However, plans or evaluation standards, which take account of the environment-friendly aspect of skyscrapers, leave much to be desired. And especially it is hard to find environment-friendly skyscrapers. Therefore, this study aims to establish the concept of environment-friendly skyscrapers that has not properly been defined, and to find realistic planning methods and practical alternatives through the analysis of the works that have brilliant ideas about environment-friendly architectural method. From the perspective of architectural planning, we did case analysis focused on site planning, form planning, elevation and floor planning, and tried to give useful ideas for high-rise architectural planning in Korea by finding practical solution focused on the active use of natural energy, saving resources, the reduction of wastes, natural architectural environment design and natural friendly system from the view of environment-friendly technological analysis.

  • [Purpose] Recently, skyscrapers have sharply increased throughout the world, including South Korea. Although a skyscraper has its own merit such as the landmark of a city, it also has various problems like massive energy consumption. This study is aimed to establish the concept of environment-friendly skyscraper and propose a plan to realize skyscraper after analyzing the architectural, facility and environmental friendly elements of skyscrapers. [Method] This study lists up skyscrapers over 40 floors and 200 meters high. Upon 10 constructed buildings, it analyzes their basic plans and the green building technologies applied to them and suggests effective and environment-friendly architectural plan. [Result] This study examined the distinctions of the layout, shape, facade, and floor plan plane of 10 skyscrapers and found out specific techniques to be used for the use plan of natural energy, plan for saving resources and reducing wastes and a plan for environmental architecture and system.

  • In Part One, I documented the evolution of the use of the elevator and the iron frame to build ever-taller buildings that would eventually be called "skyscrapers," to offset the ever-increasing cost of Manhattan real estate. By the start of the Great Depression of the 1870s in 1873, New York architects had erected two ten-storied skyscrapers. In Part Two I document the major events, designers, and buildings in New York, Chicago, and other American cities that eventually culminated in the ability to erect 20 story skyscrapers by 1890.

  • The evolution in the use of the elevator and the iron frame to build ever-taller buildings that would eventually be called "skyscrapers" is still somewhat shrouded in the mist of history. This two-part paper is an attempt to document the significant persons and events in that evolution, showing that these had a greater continuity than that previously recorded. In this first part, I discuss how the exploitation of the elevator in the design of buildings allowed "skyscrapers" to be built taller than the five-six story limit imposed by stairways, so that their owners could include more and more rental square footage needed to offset the increasing cost of Manhattan real estate. The use of iron framing for the interior framing in these taller buildings would reduce the amount of square footage lost to construction, thereby also increasing the rental return from the building. By the start of the Great Depression of the 1870s in 1873, New York architects had erected two ten-storied skyscrapers.

  • Safety is the most important factor in skyscrapers. The fact that skyscrapers can contain many facilities and people is one of its many advantages. However external pressure such as earthquakes or wind might make accidents that lead to casualties. Because of its large size, small accidents still make big scale of damage. In this paper, we tried to find out what kind of factors affected the movement of skyscrapers using the 'One Dimentional Forced Damped Oscillation Interpretation Software'. Then we researched how to minimize the damage caused by it and the way to correspond to it.

  • 이 논문에서는 마천루의 개념과 역사를 살펴보고, 우리 시대의 마천루가 가지는 상징성에 대하여 살펴보았다. 첫째, 마천루의 개념은 시간과 장소에 따라 달라지는 상대적인 개념이다. 목적에 따라 마천루의 기준을 조작적으로 정의할 수는 있겠으나, 마천루를 지칭하는 용어들의 실용적인 의미는 시간과 장소에 따라 다르게 적용될 수밖에 없다. 둘째, 세계 최초의 마천루가 어느 건물인가에 대해서는 학자에 따라 이견이 있지만, 여하튼 근대적 마천루의 역사는 1800년대 후반 미국에서 시작되었다. 세계 최고층 건물들은 주로 미국의 도시들(특히 뉴욕과 시카고)에 집중되어 있었다. 그러나 1990년대 말 이후로는 아시아에 위치한 마천루들이 세계 최고층 건물이 되었다. 셋째, 마천루는 그저 높은 건물이 아니라 상징적 이미지이다. 마천루는 자본주의의 상징이며, 금융의 상징이며, 야망의 상징이다. 마천루의 상징성은 세 차원으로 구분될 수 있다. 높이(규모)의 상징성, 자본(경제)의 상징성, 경관(문화)의 상징성이 그것이다.

  • 최근 테러의 대상 범위는 보다 광범위해 지고 있으며, 국내의 테러발생위험이 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 가운데 테러의 형태는 국가의 중요시설과 같은 경성표적(Hard Target)에서 초고층건물과 같은 다중이용시설의 연성표적(Soft Target)으로 변화하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Fema 455 - Rapid Visual Screening을 통해 국내의 초고층건물과 고층건물의 테러위험도 평가결과를 국내의 저층건물의 테러위험도 평가결과와 비교하여 초고층건물의 테러위험도를 분석하였다. 그 결과 초고층건물 및 고층건물은 저층건물에 비해 Consequences, Vulnerability Rating보다 Threat Rating항목이 상대적으로 높았으며, 이는 초고층건물의 거주인원 및 국가적 또는 지역적인 상징성 및 가시성 부분에서 테러위험도가 높은 것이 주요 원인으로 분석되었다.
