CTBUH will hold a discussion about natural skyscrapers at the 100+ Forum Russia

The CTBUH experts on heights, representatives of the London Mayor's Office, developers of the Parisian high-rise district La Defense, architects of the Belgian bureau and other specialists are invited to participate. They will share their experience in the construction of high-rise buildings in London, Paris, Washington, and discuss the problem of project coordination not only with expert services, but also with members of the public.

The discussion will raise issues about the modernization of skyscrapers as opposed to the demolition of high-rise buildings practiced in some cities, the rapid growth in the number of high-rise buildings over the past 10-12 years, and the development of a comprehensive strategy to preserve historical buildings in the context of the high-rise boom. Economists will present arguments for or against it.

Last year, the forum was attended by the ex-president of the CTBUH (2009-2011), founder of the Korean division of the CTBUH, Professor of the Korean Sang Dae Kim University. The former head of the World Council on High-rise Buildings made a presentation on the engineering support of skyscrapers.
