Summary

Floating Airports explores a cutting-edge solution to airport congestion and land scarcity: constructing airport runways on water. This approach offers relief for densely populated urban areas, potentially reducing noise pollution and minimizing land acquisition. The book examines the architectural and technological innovations required to make floating airports a reality. For example, the book analyzes how concrete pontoons and artificial islands can serve as stable platforms, while wave dampening technologies can increase safety and stability.

 
The book progresses through engineering principles, technological innovations, and environmental impacts. It assesses the viability of floating airports by analyzing case studies of existing floating structures like offshore platforms. This approach provides a practical understanding of the challenges and solutions involved.

 
The book also delves into the potential effects on marine ecosystems and the economic benefits of increased airport capacity, making it a valuable resource for airport planners, architects, and policymakers interested in sustainable development.

    A two-time Pulitzer finalist explores the story of American urban design through San Francisco's iconic Ferry Building. 
 
 
 
Conceived in the Gilded Age, the Ferry Building opened in 1898 as San Francisco's portal to the world—the terminus of the transcontinental railway and a showcase of civic ambition. In silent films and World's Fair postcards, nothing said "San Francisco" more than its soaring clock tower. But as acclaimed architectural critic John King recounts, the rise of the automobile and double-deck freeways severed the city from its beloved structure. King's narrative spans the rise and fall and rebirth of the Ferry Building, introducing colorful figures who fought to preserve its character (and the city's soul)—from architect Arthur Page Brown and legendary columnist Herb Caen to poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Senator Dianne Feinstein. A microcosm of the changing American waterfront, the saga of the Ferry Building explores the tensions of tourism and development—and the threat that sea level rise poses to a landmark that in the twenty-first century remains as vital as ever.
