This paper describes case studies of supertall Asian buildings, focusing on the impacts of
wind and other climatic factors on their design. The aerodynamic shape of supertall …

Tall buildings have been traditionally designed to be symmetric rectangular, triangular or
circular in plan, in order to avoid excessive seismic-induced torsional vibrations due to …

The natural ventilation strategy is gaining increasing attention from architects due to its
advantages in reducing energy consumption and maintaining a healthy indoor environment …

Recent super-tall building design has been released from the spell of compulsory symmetric
shape design, and free-style design is becoming increasingly popular. This is mainly due to …

Vertical meteorological conditions encountered by super tall buildings, such as wind speed,
temperature and humidity, vary due to their height. Therefore, it is necessary to consider …

Buildings, energy and the environment are key issues that the building professions and
energy policy makers have to address, especially in the context of sustainable development …

Assessing the energy performance of supertall buildings often does not consider variations
in energy consumption due to the change of environmental conditions such as temperature …

The design of supertall buildings is typically governed by their interaction with lateral winds
and gravity loads. Selection of the building shaping and structural system can greatly affect …

The paper presents a critique on the challenges arising from a prevailing Asian Compact
City syndrome featuring a shared mission to build bigger, larger and taller, and discusses …

Using the digital tools and computational techniques during the architectural design
process, supertall building (over 300m high or 75 stories) forms have been evolving towards …
