Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Georges Binder The “International” Skyscraper: Observations While using tall buildings data, the following paper aims to show trends and shifts relating to building use and new locations accommodating high-rise buildings. After decades of the American office building being dominate, in the last twelve years we have observed a gradual but major shift from office use to residential and mixed-use for Tall Buildings, and from North America to Asia. The turn of the millennium has also seen major changes in the use of buildings in cities having the longest experience with Tall Buildings. Chicago is witnessing a series of office buildings being transformed into residential or mixed-use buildings, a phenomenon also occurring on a large scale in New York. In midtown Manhattan of New York City we note the transformation of major hotels into residential projects. The transformation of landmark projects in midtown New York City is making an impact, but it is not at all comparable to the number of new projects being built in Asia. When conceiving new projects, we should perhaps bear in mind that, in due time, these will also experience major shifts in uses and we should plan for this in advance.

Ali2 1Urban Planning and Policy Department, University of Illinois, Chicago, IL 60607, USA 2School of Architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL 61820, USA Abstract There is much architectural and engineering literature which discusses the virtues of exterior bracing and diagrid systems in regards to sustainability - two systems which generally reduce building materials, enhance structural performance, and decrease overall construction cost. By surveying past, present as well as possible future towers, this paper examines another attribute of these structural systems - the blend of structural functionality and aesthetics. Given the external nature of these structural systems, diagrids and exterior bracings can visually communicate the inherent structural logic of a building while also serving as a medium for artistic effect.

Especially my extraordinary and lovely mom, for her dedication, for leading me to the right path, for accepting and supporting my decisions, always taught me to think positively and be strong, because “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass…it's about learning how to dance in the rain!” And my grandparents for educating me during my childhood and believing me. Although they are in Shanghai, but they have always supported me when I needed. And to Tiotio, I would like to thank him for all the support I have received since I moved to Portugal. When I first came to Portugal, I did not understand a single word in Portuguese, with my family´s support and a lot of hard work I managed to overcome the language barrier. Secondly, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisors, Professor Manuel Duarte Pinheiro and Professor Manuel Correia Guedes, for their exemplary guidance, patience and information provided throughout the course of this work.
