[H3] Architecture City Walks – How does it Work?
Introductione-architect has been operating Architecture Walking Tours since 2000.
[IMG: Singapore Architecture walking tours]
photo © Craig SheppardAdrian Welch and Isabelle Lomholt – directors of e-architect – both trained as architects. We realised some cities only had architecture tour guides that focused on the historical buildings. Over the years we’ve discovered thousands of people who wished to tour key contemporary buildings, within the historic context.e-architect operate both architectural walking tours and architectural bus tours. Our guides all have an architectural background and many of them are also architects. We have a suggested itinerary for each city but many Clients request a tailored walking tour. Please consider how much time you need for your visit and your preferred mode of transport – some building tours work well by bicycle or bus, but typically walking is preferred.We are more than happy to accommodate your needs and interests for your trip.Architectural Tours can focus on contemporary buildings or on traditional buildings, or a mix of both. They can introduce the city’s main buildings or it can be based on your group’s interests. For some cities we can also arrange visits by bus.e-architect have set programmes that aim to show the key buildings in a city. The walking tour can be tailored if sufficient notice is provided. For example a group of architects interested in social housing or new office buildings could be advised, therefore allowing a suitable programme to be agreed prior to their visit.

[H2] World Skyscrapers : Tallest Buildings in 2011
Skyscraper Completion Reaches New High for Fifth Year RunningIn January of each year, CTBUH publishes a review of tall building construction and statistics from the previous year. The annual story is becoming a familiar one: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and now 2011 have each sequentially broke the record for the most 200 meter or higher buildings completed in a given year. Once again, more 200 m+ buildings were completed in 2011 than in any year previous, with a total of 88 projects opening their doors. It is now foreseeable – indeed likely – that the recent trend of an annual increase in building completions will continue for the next several years, perhaps even through the end of the decade, due in large part to China.The three tallest buildings to complete in 2011: Kingkey 100 (Shenzhen), Al Hamra Firdous Tower (Kuwait City), and 23 Marina (Dubai).KK100 Tower, Shenzhen, China Design: TFP Farrells

What surprise city completed the most 200-meter buildings in 2011, surpassing traditional tall building centers like Dubai, Shanghai, and Singapore?Will the already-remarkable Chinese market continue to expand exponentially and further dominate the skyscraper typology? Are there other, unrealized markets that are yet to discover the benefits of building tall? These and many other questions are examined and answered in this study.The Shard, London, UK Design: Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW)
