This second edition of TALL has been updated with new information about the construction of high-rise architecture. A lot has happened in the world since 2019 when the first edition was published and so the updates respond to these changes.

There has been a strong uptake in the purchase of electric cars and hybrid vehicles, so the book has been strengthened with discussion of car park planning. Site safety, site planning, project planning and health and safety have all been revised, and the latest on base isolation methods and fluid dampers for seismic control have been included. There has been a substantial increase in interest in engineered timber as a construction material, as well as an uptake in hybrid buildings joining concrete cores and timber flooring, so more is included on this.

The chapter on designing for deconstruction has had a major revision with the inclusion of extensive details about a new demountable construction system, which tackles the construction waste problem with innovation and success. While the final chapter on facade detailing has had a major rewrite as well, aiming to assist young architects understanding of facade planning and incorporating advances in facade design over the last decade, including solar shading.

In addition to the existing illustrations, there are 34 new illustrations in clear black and white, to assist further understanding of the revised material. Overall, this new edition continues to provide a practical guide and desk-reference to any architect or architecture student embarking on a tall building project.
