CTBUH 2009 Chicago Conference - Eric Kuhne, "Building Skylines of the Future"

Friday 23rd October 2009. Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago. Eric Kuhne, Founding Principal, Eric Kuhne Associates, London, presents at the CTBUH 2009 Chicago Conference. Tall Buildings seem to have taken on an additional agenda in recent years. Whereas throughout history they have been used to project the vitality of corporations, skylines are now being used to also project the vitality of cities on a competitive world stage. We hear from the architect behind one of the tallest in the world proposals on the drawing board, the Burj Mubarak al-Kabir, in Kuwait City about the motivations driving these projects.
