SUSTAINABLE RISING OF SKYSCRAPERS

Application methods for sustainability concept, put forward as a solution proposal for human andenvironment health problems in daily life are also being researched in the architectural field as otherdisciplines. Development of design and application methods for high rise buildings in accordance withprinciples of sustainable architecture has a great importance since they have a bigger amount ofenvironmental charge due to their scale and the intense user population regarding the phases ofconstruction, use and deconstruction. Besides being restricted and consumed in our days, fossil energysources are perceived more and argued because of giving harm to environment. Architecturaldiscipline, without giving any harms to natural environment via the facts, begins to lead the ecologicaland sustainable approaches that responds the needs of humanity. In this area high-rise building knownas a most energy-consuming building type, during the construction and life time of high-rise buildings,they have most energy consumption and environmental pollution, which is unacceptable. In thiscontext, This study area in sustainable concept includes case study of UniCredit tower in Milan andDe Rotterdam tower in Rotterdam as a best examples of high-rise buildings in Europe and investigateThe concepts of ecological environment, active energy using and energy saving of ecological andsustainable architectural concepts, green construction and sustainable building principles and methods,in those high-rise examples
