39.—



320 pages

The Metropolitan Tower is the first English-language edition of an influential French standard reference on the topic of the urban high-rise, originally published in 2012. It summarizes, interprets, and explains the research of French architect and teacher Michel Kagan (1953–2009). Featuring some 600 photographs, sketches, and plans, along with Kagan’s own writings and contributions by 26 distinguished international authors who respond to his ideas with key elements of their own research, the volume comprehensively explores the typology of the metropolitan high-rise since the birth of early modernism.
