| Abstract Tall buildings have been used to sh ow off power and wealth; to honor leaders or religious beliefs; to stretch the limits of what's possible; and even as simple competition among owners, families, architects, and builders. The evolution of the last years resulted in tall buildings built usi ng a wide spectrum of creative structural solutions. A major reason for regionally diverse solutions is the varying handling of energy resources. Development of new technology occurs based upon necessity and technology evolves towards enhanced efficiency. The construction industry is under growing pressure to incorporate renewable energy systems in the design and construction of new developments. The building enclosure is regarded as a perforated barrier or as an environmental filter that enables selective exchanges between the external climate and the internal spaces. This paper encompasses the development spectrum of tall buildings. The evolution of tall buildings' structure systems and technological driving force behind tall building development are reviewed. Buildings are more energy efficient, comfortable, and affordable that’s the goal. | ||
