A distinctively oversized monograph on the "skyscraper king of New
York." The recipient of numerous design awards, Frank Williams &
Partners, based in New York, is one of the foremost designers of tall
buildings in the world. With ongoing projects in locations from New York
to Dubai, and Shanghai to Moscow, and completed projects across the
globe, principal Frank Williams has been extremely influential in
shaping the skyline of the modern, international city. This volume,
featuring thirty-five daring new skyscrapers, includes such important
and iconic works as W Times Square Hotel, The Belaire, Trump Palace
(with I.M. Pei), along with seventeen others in New York, as well as the
Terrace Tower in Bangkok, Crocus City Tower in Moscow, Samsung
Residential Towers in Seoul, 11 Burj Dubai Boulevard in Dubai, and many
more.
After graduating from the University of California at Berkeley and receiving a master’s degree from Harvard, Frank Williams
taught at Columbia University for four years before opening his own
office, Frank Williams & Partners in New York. Since then, the firm
has received many honors, including those from the Municipal Art Society
of New York and the American Institute of Architecture.
