The first high rise building was constructed in the 1880s. these buildings are also called Skyscrapers. The advancement in technology introduces the architecture to new fields. Strong and flexible frame promote the Skyscrapers. At first, the high-rise buildings used as offices and were confined to industrial areas. But, the population load, urbanization, and need for buildings make them available for housing purposes too.
Now, they are everywhere in cities. There can be a lot of creativity or innovation in the design of high-rise buildings. They are not just straight and tall. Burj Khalifa is the tallest building on the earth, it has a great design. The twisted high-rise buildings of Dubai and China are design role models. To construct a Skyscraper, create a safe place. The architect of a tall building must consider the weight, flexibility, and strength of the place.
The weight of the high-rise buildings should decrease with the height and the strength must increase. A complete survey of land is mandatory to construct a safe high-rise building. Building Skyscrapers on a porous land or on an earthquake belt is a big mistake that can kill lives. As, for the constructing material, Bessemer Steel provide a more flexible frame then the Cast iron. The granite, marble, or limestone are good masonry materials. While, glass, aluminum, stainless steel, metal sheets can be used as cladding. The new technology allows elevators to electrically rise to the 15 or more stories and prevents fire dangers.
The base of the building must be strong enough to bear the weight of high-rise building so, that the building does not crash because of a weak foundation. The most durable foundation is of concrete and steel. The reliable footings reach the clay 53 meters down the surface, it is standard for the high-rise buildings but, missing in most of them. Use the flexible material in the frame, it will help the building stand to wind and earthquakes. The carbon fibers, are ready to replace the steel in construction with their strength and flexibility, in near future. The Hi-Res CFD system can analyze the wind pressure around the high-rise buildings.
It is difficult to provide a homogenized environment to all the stories from bottom to top. It requires a huge deal of energy. The high-rise buildings can survive longer at low maintenance charges if they use sustainable energy resources. The solar panel-covered roof or the sides can provide energy to the whole building. Thermal energy is site-specific. The high-rise buildings can also use wind energy. The waste treatment should be properly managed. A wastewater management plant can recycle most of the used water. By using technology, the inside environment of the apartments or offices can be controlled.
A glass can be used that is able to reflect the glare yet conserve energy. The design of the building should facilitate proper ventilation and natural lighting during most of the day hours. The double skin facades can be used for greenery and ventilation of the building. High-rise buildings are common but a fewer of them follow construction standards thus, are not safe.
