- They come mainly from three continents, including North America, China, and the Middle East. Bank of America is one of the world's major financial institutions. Bank of America Tower (also known as One Bryant Park) was designed by Cook + Fox Architects (Abbood et al., 2021). The 336 m (1,200 ft) tall, 55-story BoA tower is proclaimed to be among the greenest skyscrapers in the U.S. It is the first commercial high-rise to earn LEED Platinum certification, the highest designation from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
- Designed by Gensler, the tower incorporates a real-time intelligent building management system, a double-skin faade that minimizes heat gain and maximizes daylight, and renewable energy features such as rooftop wind turbines and a combined cooling-heating-power system [30]. Its twisting aerodynamic form reduces wind loads by 24%, cutting structural material use and improving performance [31]. Certified LEED Platinum and awarded Chinas 3-Star Green Building Certification, the Shanghai Tower stands as a benchmark for twenty-first-century smart, sustainable skyscraper design, demonstrating how vertical architecture can become a key agent of environmental stewardship, resilience, and urban livability [30, 32]. Figure 2 illustrates the trajectory of high-rise buildings from ancient monumental forms to contemporary sustainable skyscrapers.
Moving forward, it's essential to keep these visual contexts in mind when discussing High Rise Green Building And Architecture.
