Skyscrapers

“Talk about an ideal match of subject and form….the stunning array of black-and-white photographs that accompany Dupre’s incisive, fact-filled text capture both the mass and soaring aspirations of the structures…”  

“Judith Dupré skillfully couples a narrative with stunning photographs and factoids that distinguish this skyscraper-shaped book from so many others.” 
  

“…[A] handsome compendium, which is as witty in its lanky format as it is fascinating within.”        

“Skyscrapers is ingeniously shaped…this tall and skinny volume…is the perfect canvas for full-page black-and-white photographs and illustrations of well-known classics….But this isn’t just a celebratory picture book.  Ms Dupré is a scholar interested in the aesthetic and environmental issues raised by supertall architecture.  Skyscrapers is chock-full of historical context as it projects the implications and future prospects of metal and glass that reach for the sky.”   

"Unique in scale and design, and packed with eye-popping photographs…”
