The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat is strengthening its focus on habitat. The new emphasis is part of CTBUH's plan to help "save the planet" by, in part, mobilizing the global membership to action, said David Malott, CTBUH's chairman.
The group's reach is growing. Of the thousand 200-meter-plus high-rise construction starts in the past 10 years, 50% involved CTBUH members, said Malott, a principal of architect Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, at the group's 13th annual Best Tall Building Symposium, held on Nov. 6 in Chicago.
