I don't know what you mean by Non-Prescriptive Design of High Rise Buildings.
Here are two books...
Tall Building Structures - Analysis & Design - by Bryan Stafford Smith & Alex Coull, and published by John Wiley & Sons
Steel, Concrete, & Composite Design of Tall Buildings by Bungale S. Taranath, published by McGraw-Hill
You may Google.... you will find a lot more books and papers on Tall Buildings
In general, I follow American Codes and Standards. Non-Prescriptive may be called Performance based design. Generally codes put height limitations, drift criterias etc. I am looking for any established standards/criteria/research for Tall buildings where we can move beyond code for more viability and economy of structural design.
What is meant by prescriptive code? I thought it meant at standard design which works for any example, such as timber framing span tables. Don't think you will find one of those for tall buildings. Every tall building needs a design.
You could find useful information on these literature, it is focused on performance based earthquake engineering and on tall buildings, specially Bertero.

About six months ago there was an article about performance-based design of concrete shear walls for tall buildings under wind loading. It was published in November 2011 issue of ACI Structural Journal. The paper was by Dr. Ahmed Rahimian of Cantor Seinuk. He has designed tall buildings including the new World Trade Center in New York City.
