In the last post about the book "Building Big" I mentioned about the book by John Hill "How to build a skyscraper", which also like my son - we often go to bed with him. 46 The presented skyscrapers and the son tries to remember the name, city, storeys and other parameters of skyscrapers:) When it comes to the book, it’s cool, and here’s why. The format of the book resembles a skyscraper - it is elongated upwards, the ratio of height to width is one and a half times greater than usual.

• In her. 46 skyscrapers broken down by region (USA, Europe, Asia, Latin America, Australia) In addition to beautiful photos of skyscrapers, schematic images of constructive schemes are given and the features of designs are told. It's cool to see with young children - it looks like a kaleidoscope of strange but beautiful buildings. It’s cool to read it yourself and be amazed at how architects designed solutions for local conditions. (site size, soil, wind, earthquake and so on)Functional and non-functional requirements

In general, I recommend the book as a bedtime tale for children or as an illustrated guide to outstanding skyscrapers, starting with those built in the beginning. 20 centuries and ending with our days.
