Reviews
This is an instructive publication that expands with greater elaboration the notion that tall buildings should be designed as 'vertical urban design', requiring the creation of 'public' places in the sky. Architects, developers and academics of high-rise buildings within the urban habitat could learn much from this treatise. - Ken Yeang, Principal of Llewelyn Davies Yeang and Hamzah & Yeang
"""This comprehensive volume comes from one of the leading academics and practitioners in the field of sky gardens. The case studies are succinct and representative of the current state of the typology. Crisp and understandable graphics... put the case studies in further perspective"" - CTBUH Journal ""Over half the book is a really useful set of case studies, wisely categorized as Completed, Under Construction and On the Drawing Board. I am as full of admiration for the architects and clients who launched these projects as for the author who assembled and analyzed the details...Two real strengths of Pomeroy’s book are his analytical diagrams and his systematic charting of the characteristics of above ground greenspace."" - Tom Turner, GardenVisit.com ""This is an instructive publication that expands with greater elaboration the notion that tall buildings should be designed as 'vertical urban design', requiring the creation of ‘public’ places in the sky.
