The Future of Skyscrapers

What is the future of the skyscraper? Are vertical cities key to creating low-carbon compact environments as urban density increases? How do tall buildings need to change to keep pace with the rapid change in our post-pandemic working cultures? What materials will tall buildings be made from in the future to be more climate-resilient?

Our sustainability and tall buildings experts will be presenting a range of ideas from SOM’s concept for Urban Sequoia, presented as part of the built environment day at COP26, to our research into timber structures.
