LBR&Arquitectos, a firm founded in 1976 by Mexican architect Benjam n Romano, designs and builds architecture projects based on four defining principles: sustainability, structure, high technology and artistic integration. The firm is responsible for one of Mexico City's tallest skyscrapers, the Reforma Tower (2016), built on the corner of Paseo de la Reforma and R o Elba. At 57 stories and 807 feet high, the tower's delicate silhouette made a striking addition to the city's skyline.

This book explores the process involved in designing and building the Reforma Tower, narrating how the architects navigated urban regulation in the center of a dense city and considerations of height, circulation, sunlight, wind, ventilation and most importantly, structure (the building is located in a seismic zone). Featuring photographs by Iwan Bann, this volume documents the Reforma Tower project from the first designs to the finished building.
