Stefan Al, author of the book Supertall, has highlighted 11 tall buildings that have changed the way we think about cities over the past decade.
Al argues that supertalls can positively contribute to cities with growing populations by maximising living space, but readers aren’t convinced. “You could not pay me to live in one of these,” said one.

Other stories in this week’s newsletter include Stefano Boeri’s “floating forest” at Milan design week, a modernist home self-designed by architects and a compact cabin with panoramic windows.
