  • Typology for the Aesthetics and Top Design of Tall Buildings
    G.U. Journal of Science 22(4): 371-381 (2009) www.gujs.org Typology for The Aesthetics and Top Design of Tall Buildings Ayşin SEV 1♠ 1 Mimar Sinan Fine University, Faculty of Architecture, Building Technology Department, 34427 Istanbul, TURKEY Received: 16.02.2009 Revised: 11.05.2009 Accepted: 05.06.2009 ABSTRACT The morphological character and the top is the most important component of the tall building in terms of its impression in the city silhouette. Designers of attractive tall buildings, whose investors tend to create a symbolic image, mostly prefer tops with aesthetic expressions. However many tall buildings with slipshod tops create unidentified skylines as it is the case for many modern cities of today. In this paper, the particular issue of visual impact and tops of tall buildings are addressed and a historical category system of seven periods is proposed. Then each period is illustrated in a series of outline figures showing the comparative heights and profiles of leading examples within each category. As a result, it is recognized that tall building design is a holistic process, and it is impossible to consider formal and aesthetic principles in isolation without reference to technology of the era, as well as the investors’ demands. The impact of tall building tops involves a consideration of social values followed by scale and traditional design principles versus contemporary expression of architectural design objectives. Key Words : Tall buildings, skyline, skyscraper, high-rise, aesthetic, urban context. 1. INTRODUCTION footprint buildings, which are quite tall but their size / floor area rules them out as being classed as a tall The visual impact of major buildings on the city scape building.

As a result, the building s designed during the latter portion of the potential applications for composite construction are twentieth century.

  • Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States Aged 55 Years
    DATA BRIEF Vol. 1, No. 1 Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States Aged 55 Years and Older: Population, Nativity, and Language Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) are one of the fastest growing populations of older adults in the United States. California, New York, and Hawaii have the largest AAPI older adult populations. The most recent statistics reveal that AAPIs aged 55 years and older make up about 4% of the total older adult U.S. population, and about 20% of the total AAPI population. The five largest ethnic groups among Asian elders are Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Japanese, and Korean. Approximately 85% of AAPIs aged 55 and older are foreign-born, and 64% are naturalized citizens. AAPIs speak over 40 different languages and dialects. Only 15% of AAPIs aged 55 years and older speak English at home, and over half (56%) have limited English proficiency. Additionally, a significant proportion (27%) of AAPIs aged 55 years and older are linguistically isolated, which means that all members of the household speak English less than “very well.” These data indicate the need for linguistically appropriate services for Asian elders. Population Statistics by Race and Hispanic Origin Approximately 3.3 million AAPIs, or 21% of the total AAPI population, were aged 55 years and older in 2012. Over the next 50 years, the number of AAPIs aged 55 and older is expected to grow 240% to 11.4 million, making up about 33% of the total AAPI population in 2060. The older Asian population is one of the fastest growing older populations in the United States.
