Notably, 2017 was also the most geographically diverse year in terms of the number of cities and countries that completed 200-meter-plus buildings, with 69 cities across 23 countries represented in the data, up from 54 cities across 18 countries in 2016. The report covers other statistical highlights of 2017 and predicts completions for 2018.

  • Ahmed Sameer
    © Ahmed Sameer © Ahmed Sameer On 29th of March, 2014, Earth Hour celebrated its 8th anniversary. Once again, Earth Hour called on the world to unite and demonstrate the necessity of taking action against climate change by switching off their light for one hour. This year, Earth Hour’s impact was record-breaking worldwide, reaching over hundreds of millions of people in 162 countries in over 7000 cities. Famous landmarks all over the world switched off for the hour, such as the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Golden Gate Bridge in California and a new landmark this year - the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Turkey. Beyond the global switch off, Earth Hour called for an amplified, multiplied and powerful hour through the launch of a new platform “Earth Hour Blue”. 2014 marks the UAE’s 7th year participating in Earth Hour; and as darkness swept over the 7 emirates on the night of 29th March 2014, the world’s tallest building, the UAE’s Burj Khalifa and the iconic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque switched off in support of the hour. Residents also participated in an amplified Earth Hour in response to EWS-WWF’s call to not only to switch off for the hour, but also to switch to energy efficient lighting as a first step towards long term impact and change. Andy Ridley, the CEO of Earth Hour commented on how the crescendo of Earth Hour made 2014 to be one of the most influential year yet. “It is a fairly wild experience to watch as countries and cities from around the world start to share their plans for the night and beyond the hour, each story builds momentum and inspires other teams to share and do more.

  • Fazlur R. Khan Lecture
    FAZLUR R. KHAN LECTURE 1 Life-Cycle and Sustainability of Civil Infrastructure Systems – Strauss, Frangopol & Bergmeister (Eds) © 2013 Taylor & Francis Group, London, ISBN 978-0-415-62126-7 Fazlur Khan’s legacy: Towers of the future M. Sarkisian Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP, San Francisco, USA ABSTRACT: Dr. Khan’s contributions to the design of tall buildings have had a profound impact on the pro- fession. Kahn had a unique understanding of forces, materials, behavior, as well as art, literature, and archi- tecture. Long before there was widespread focus on environmental issues, Kahn’s designs promoted structur- al efficiency and minimizing the use of materials resulting in the least carbon emission impact on the environment. Kahn was interested in the performance of structural systems over an expected life; recognizing a building’s life -cycle and issues of abnormal loading demands, he developed concepts to apply to severe wind environments as well as early concepts of seismic isolation of structures. These system ideas have led to the development of other concepts which have yielded buildings much taller than those considered by Kahn. His ideas have inspired others to expand the possibilities in tall building design, life-cycle engineering and the effects of the structures on the environment. However, the offer was subsequently withdrawn and he went on to become an Executive Engineer with 1 INTRODUCTION the Karachi Development Authority. Because he felt that his technical abilities where not fully uti- Inquisitive as a child, Fazlur Rahman Kahn was in- lized, Kahn returned to SOM in 1960 where he spent terested in form and how forms could be made.
