Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the exciting world of high-rise construction at the end of the 19th century, a time when the burgeoning American cities were rapidly adopting steel and terra-cotta as their building materials of choice. The author explores the evolution of this new style of build…ing, specifically focusing on the "Chicago Construction" which was gaining prominence for its ability to produce towering structures. This construction style brought together the disciplines of architecture and engineering, and the book examines the tensions and possibilities of this new relationship. The author highlights the growing demand for fire-proofing in buildings, and provides a detailed analysis of the various methods employed to safeguard against the devastating effects of fire. The book further explores the meticulous planning required in high-rise construction, encompassing not only structural concerns but also the integration of essential mechanical features, including plumbing, ventilation, and electrical systems. Ultimately, this book presents a fascinating glimpse into the development of a key architectural style at a time when the very landscape of American cities was being transformed.
