🏙️ The Rise of Green Skyscrapers
As skyscrapers become more common globally, the environmental impacts of their construction and maintenance are increasingly being considered. Making buildings environmentally friendly has become a priority, with more structures featuring trees, roof gardens, solar panels, and new approaches to natural light. Countries like the United States, Singapore, Italy, and Australia are leading in green building design.
🌿 What is Green Building?
Green building involves enhancing the efficiency of energy, water, land, and material use in construction to minimize environmental impact and combat climate change. However, green buildings are often complex, expensive, and time-consuming to construct, as they rely on sunlight for energy, requiring strategic placement that might disrupt neighborhoods. A prime example is the award-winning One Central Park complex in Sydney, known for its vertical gardens, large mirror, and self-sufficiency.
🌱 One Central Park: A Green Marvel
One Central Park in Sydney, Australia, is an iconic green building featuring two residential towers, a shopping mall, and extraordinary environmental design elements. Its 117-meter-high structure includes the world’s tallest vertical garden, with 85,000 plants and 350 different species, growing without soil and nurtured by a sophisticated irrigation system. The building also features a massive mirror that reflects sunlight into various areas and transforms into an LED display at night, emphasizing sustainability with a low-carbon power plant and water recycling system.
🌳 The Vertical Forest of Milan
The Vertical Forest in Milan, also known as Bosco Verticale, is a groundbreaking architectural concept completed in 2014. Consisting of two towers with extensive vegetation, it represents a new relationship between humans and nature. The buildings house thousands of trees, plants, and shrubs, creating a natural shield that filters sunlight, regulates humidity, and improves air quality. This innovative design has won several awards, including the title of Best Tall Building in the World in 2015, and has become a symbol of Milan.
🏗️ Melbourne's Future Twisting Green Towers
Melbourne is set to build Australia’s tallest building with the Twisting Green Towers, approved in 2020. The 101-story building will stand at 356 meters and include luxury residences, high-tech offices, a five-star hotel, and public green spaces like rooftop gardens and pocket parks. These green areas aim to blend nature with urban living and foster community connections. The project, requiring civil aviation approval due to its height, is expected to create thousands of jobs and set new standards in green architecture.

Transcripts
as skyscrapers are rising around the
world
the environmental effects of
constructing and maintaining these large
buildings
are being taken more and more into
consideration over the years
making buildings more environmentally
friendly has become one of the top
priorities
if you look around you might find more
buildings with trees
roof gardens solar panels and new
approaches to natural light
than ever before the shift cannot be
denied
in the united states singapore italy and
australia are some of the countries
leading the way
in green building design before we go on
and show you some truly
interesting examples of green
construction make sure to like this
video
and subscribe to top luxury let us know
in the comments below
which of these green buildings you like
the most
first off we need to understand what
green building is
it's the practice of increasing the
efficiency of how buildings use energy
water land and materials doing this
is aimed at reducing the effect the
building has on its environment
and slowing down the pace of climate
change however
a green building can be way more complex
to construct making it
expensive and time-consuming since these
buildings depend on the sun for energy
they need to be built in a place with
good sunlight exposure
which may disrupt a neighborhood's
layout a great example of a green
building
is the award-winning one central park
complex in sydney australia which is 117
meters high
the building itself consists of two
residential towers
an east and a west tower and a six-story
shopping mall at the foot of the towers
which is entirely lighted by natural
sunlight
due to a number of unique features one
central park has been recognized
internationally as an exceptional
building the most important of these are
its vertically hanging gardens
its gigantic mirror and its
self-sufficiency
the vertical gardens of one central park
are basically a living blanket
of plants flowers and vines that extend
over 50 meters
making it the tallest vertical garden in
the world
the living wall consists of many
individual plant boxes
each with its own irrigation system the
building houses
23 of these green walls with a total of
85
000 plants and 350 different species
both exotic and australian native plants
from well-known to rare species
have been included in the living wall
a key factor in the success of the
vertical gardens was that the plants do
not need
any soil to grow light water and
nutrients
are mechanically distributed to the
plants to stimulate their growth and
survival
the one central park complex is also
famous for its large mirror which is
attached to the eastern tower
suspended from the 28th floor it serves
not only as a dominant design element
for the building but
also as a way to reflect light into the
gardens and the atrium below
a series of motorized mirrors on the
rooftop beneath it automatically
tracks and reflects daylight up to the
huge mirror which consists
of 220 individual panels
these panels then reflect light through
the retail atrium
pedestrian area pool terrace and common
areas
at night the mirror is transformed into
a giant led light display
at the heart of one central park is a
commitment to sustainability
and self-sufficiency the complex meets
both commitments with its own low-carbon
natural gas power plant
and an internal water recycling system
that supplies all four thousand
residents
and fifteen thousand daily visitors
another interesting example of a green
building is the vertical forest in milan
also known as the bosco vertical the
vertical forest is a prototype building
for a new format of architecture
which focuses on the relationship
between humans and other living species
the first one was completed in 2014 in
milan's puerto nuova area
and consists of two towers that are 80
and 112 meters high respectively
these towers house a total of hundred
trees
fifteen thousand plants and five
thousand shrubs which add up to about
one soccer fields worth of forest
each tower has staggered and overhanging
balconies
designed to house large external tubs
for vegetation and permit the growth of
larger trees without interference
so it's basically a huge and strange
version of a tree house
the plants were pre-cultivated in a
nursery in order for them to adapt to
similar conditions to those that they
would find on the balconies
the plants create a shield around the
building that filters the sun's rays
at the same time they also regulate
humidity and improve
air quality which are qualities that won
the project a number of important awards
including an award for the best tall
building in the world
in 2015. the building is highly
recognizable
even at a distance and this has made the
image of the vertical forest
become a new symbol for milan
yet another exciting green project are
the twisting green towers in melbourne
it hasn't been built yet but
construction was approved in 2020
and it will make it australia's tallest
building the 2 billion
building will also be so tall that it
will need approval
from the civil aviation safety authority
and will create over 4 700 jobs
the twisting 101 story green spine
building
will reach 356 meters high and stand
about 30 meters taller than the gold
coast
q1 building which currently holds the
australian record
the mixed used building will have large
luxury
residential units high-tech commercial
offices
a five-star hotel and public green
spaces
the huge rooftop garden will be open to
the general public
as will the various green spaces inside
the tower
called pocket parks these pocket parks
aim to induce nature into the building
while creating spaces
where the neighborhoods can connect for
a better sense of community
but what do you think about building
green do you think green buildings are
the future
