Green Skyscrapers

Green Skyscrapers addresses the urgent need for eco-friendly architecture by examining how high-rise buildings can evolve from environmental burdens into sustainable solutions. It highlights innovative approaches like integrating renewable energy systems, such as solar power and wind energy, and incorporating vertical forests to improve air quality and biodiversity. The book emphasizes that sustainable design isn't just an add-on but a fundamental element in creating sustainable urban environments. It also explores the potential of passive design strategies to minimize resource consumption.

The book progresses methodically, first establishing the environmental consequences of conventional skyscraper design. It then introduces core concepts like energy-efficient building envelopes and water conservation systems. Finally, it delves into renewable energy integration and the ecological benefits of vertical forests, presenting case studies of pioneering green skyscrapers worldwide.

By showcasing practical examples and architectural plans, Green Skyscrapers offers a data-driven approach to demonstrating the real-world viability of sustainable architecture and its role in climate change mitigation and urban sustainability.
