This research paper examines the process of integration of tall building systems with special emphasis on sustainable buildings. The design of tall buildings warrants a multidisciplinary approach and requires the integration of architectural components, structure, vertical transportation, fire safety, energy conservation, and communication systems. A major component of this research entails the development of an “Integration Web” that illustrates the relationships and interdependence of the physical systems of tall buildings. It is a tool that can be used by architects, engineers, and planners to facilitate coordination.
Case studies of buildings are mentioned, which represent a new generation of sustainable high-rise buildings that are challenging conventional high-rise building practices and setting trends for such future projects incorporating innovations in materials and smart building systems. These buildings are seemingly well-tuned to their climate; and they provide a major portion of their own energy requirements through integrated passive design, daylighting, and intelligent control systems.
