Jane Fawcett MBE (née Hughes; 4 March 1921 21 May 2016) was a British codebreaker, singer, and heritage preservationist. She recently became known for her role in decoding a message, which led to the sinking of the German battleship Bismarck. From 1963 to 1976 she served as the secretary of the Victorian Society. She wrote and edited works including The Future of the Past; Seven Victorian Architects; The Village in History and Save the City. In 1963 Fawcett took an executive position with the Victorian Society, founded in 1957 as a heritage preservation organization dedicated to preserving Victorian architecture and works. As its secretary, she was effectively the chief executive, working closely with the director, Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, to save many buildings from demolition. She was dubbed "the furious Mrs. Fawcett" for her role in fighting with British Rail to preserve historic railway stations, and was instrumental in the 1967 preservation of St. Pancras station in London and the gothic Midland Grand Hotel. She also worked to save much of London's Whitehall from destruction. In 1976 Jane Fawcett was appointed MBE and stepped down from active leadership. In later years she taught preservation at the Architectural Association School of Architecture. In 1976, she became an Honorary fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects. This insightful work delves into the intricate relationship between heritage conservation and modern development, exploring the challenges and opportunities that arise when preserving historical sites in a rapidly changing world. Through a collection of essays by various experts, it examines the philosophical, ethical, and practical aspects of maintaining cultural heritage while accommodating contemporary needs. The book highlights the importance of balancing preservation with progress, offering a comprehensive overview of strategies and case studies that illustrate the dynamic interplay between the past and the future.

M Pei. This illustrated (mostly black and white) anthology of four dozen exemplary buildings is set within the context of the author's critical analysis of recent skyscraper construction, itself framed within the history of the genre since its beginnings in the last decades of the 19th century. Fulvio Irace (Salerno, May 12, 1950) is an Italian architect and architecture historian. Since 2000 he has been a full professor of History of Architecture at the Milan Polytechnic. His historical and critical research activity is characterized by numerous studies on Italian architecture of the years between the two world wars and after the war, with monographic works on the leading architects of that phase (for example Giovanni Muzio, Gio Ponti, Carlo Mollino, Franco Albini, Luigi Caccia Dominioni and Vico Magistretti) who have tried to deepen the relationship between international culture and local culture in the development of the idea of modernity in Italian architecture; he also touched on the themes of contemporary design and architectural historiography. A skyscraper is a tall continuously habitable building having multiple floors. Modern sources currently define skyscrapers as being at least 330 ft or 490 ft in height, though there is no universally accepted definition. Skyscrapers are very tall high-rise buildings. Historically, the term first referred to buildings with between 10 and 20 stories when these types of buildings began to be constructed in the 1880s. Skyscrapers may host offices, hotels, residential spaces, and retail spaces. One common feature of skyscrapers is having a steel frame that supports curtain walls. This idea was invented by Viollet le Duc in his discourses on architecture. These curtain walls either bear on the framework below or are suspended from the framework above, rather than resting on load-bearing walls of conventional construction. Some early skyscrapers have a steel frame that enables the construction of load-bearing walls taller than of those made of reinforced concrete. Modern skyscrapers' walls are not load-bearing, and most skyscrapers are characterised by large surface areas of windows made possible by steel frames and curtain walls. However, skyscrapers can have curtain walls that mimic conventional walls with a small surface area of windows. Modern skyscrapers often have a tubular structure, and are designed to act like a hollow cylinder to resist wind, seismic, and other lateral loads. To appear more slender, allow less wind exposure and transmit more daylight to the ground, many skyscrapers have a design with setbacks, which in some cases is also structurally required. As of February 2022, fourteen cities in the world have more than 100 skyscrapers that are 492 ft or taller: Hong Kong with 518 skyscrapers; Shenzhen, China with 343 skyscrapers; New York City, US with 300 skyscrapers; Dubai, UAE with 237 skyscrapers; Mumbai, India with 208 skyscrapers; Shanghai, China with 180 skyscrapers; Tokyo, Japan with 165 skyscrapers; Guangzhou, China with 152 skyscrapers; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with 148 skyscrapers; Chongqing, China, and Chicago, US, both with 135 skyscrapers; Wuhan, China with 109 skyscrapers; and Bangkok, Thailand, and Jakarta, Indonesia, both with 108 skyscrapers.
