    buildings Article Technological Advances and Trends in Modern High-Rise Buildings Jerzy Szolomicki 1,* and Hanna Golasz-Szolomicka 2 1 Faculty of Civil Engineering, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland 2 Faculty of Architecture, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-505-995-008 Received: 29 July 2019; Accepted: 22 August 2019; Published: 26 August 2019 Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to provide structural and architectural technological solutions applied in the construction of high-rise buildings, and present the possibilities of technological evolution in this field. Tall buildings always have relied on technological innovations in engineering and scientific progress. New technological developments have been continuously taking place in the world. It is closely linked to the search for efficient construction materials that enable buildings to be constructed higher, faster and safer. This paper presents a survey of the main technological advancements on the example of selected tall buildings erected in the last decade, with an emphasis on geometrical form, the structural system, sophisticated damping systems, sustainability, etc. The famous architectural studios (e.g., for Skidmore, Owings and Merill, Nikhen Sekkei, RMJM, Atkins and WOHA) that specialize, among others, in the designing of skyscrapers have played a major role in the development of technological ideas and architectural forms for such extraordinary engineering structures. Among their completed projects, there are examples of high-rise buildings that set a precedent for future development. Keywords: high-rise buildings; development; geometrical forms; structural system; advanced materials; damping systems; sustainability 1.

    KEY ELEMENTS OF SECTORAL RECOVERY AND RESILIENCE AFTER THE CANTERBURY EARTHQUAKES: A SYSTEM DYNAMICS APPROACH A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Civil and Natural Resources Engineering Department by Hlekiwe Kachali University of Canterbury 2013 Key elements of sectoral recovery and resilience after the Canterbury earthquakes: A system dynamics iii approach Hlekiwe Kachali Preface This work has come about through the contribution of many individuals and many events. I came to Christchurch, a few days before the 4 September 2010 earthquake, with a general idea of what my research would be. That changed on 4th September 2010 at 4:35am when greater Christchurch had the first in a series of earthquakes of MW 7.1. From a research perspective, the earthquakes brought about an invaluable research environment. However, for greater Christchurch, it was a sad moment. In Christchurch I have seen the power that nature holds and that nature can wield. As I write this, it feels good to know that whatever the setbacks, Christchurch is on the way to recovering. Cantabrians, whatever the circumstances they have lived through and because of that experience, are determined to define for themselves who they are and who they should be. iv Preface Key elements of sectoral recovery and resilience after the Canterbury earthquakes: A system dynamics v approach Hlekiwe Kachali Acknowledgements There are so many others who have contributed in so many ways to the completion of this thesis. Thank you. To my supervisors: Dr. Erica Seville, Associate Professor John Vargo and Professor David Elms.

ICOMOS New Zealand takes the view that engineering advice that is sympathetic to heritage values is important and that the top-ranked heritage buildings that have come through the quake with only moderate damage are testaments to good engineering interventions of the last decade or so. As the diggers move in to Christchurch streets, Dr Ian Lochhead, (left) a board member of ICOMOS and Associate Professor of architectural history at the University of Canterbury urges the earthquake cleanup authorities to seek advice before making decisions on the fates of buildings. “Many buildings that look in a grim state can, in fact, be saved. There should be no precipitous clearing or removal of heritage buildings or structures, and priority should be given to stabilisation, repair, and reconstruction.” He said “Christchurch has a rich Damage to the octagonal room makes it region.
