This course explores the cutting-edge technological advances and trends shaping the design and construction of modern high-rise buildings. Participants will gain insights into innovative materials, structural systems, and energy-efficient designs that define iconic skyscrapers such as Burj Khalifa and Taipei 101. By examining advancements in geometry, aerodynamics, and construction technology, learners will better understand how these developments contribute to building sustainability, safety, and functionality.

Key focus areas include the integration of ultra-strong materials, vibration-damping systems, and adaptive facade technologies. Participants will learn about dynamic forms and structures, the use of intelligent materials, and innovative approaches to energy efficiency in urban architecture. Case studies of globally renowned projects will provide practical examples of how technology pushes the boundaries of high-rise construction.

• Analyze the impact of advanced materials, such as high-strength steel and concrete, on high-rise construction.
• Understand the design principles of sustainable skyscrapers, including LEED-certified projects.
• Explore innovative facade systems that enhance energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
• Review structural solutions to mitigate wind and seismic effects on tall buildings.
• Investigate how geometry and form influence aerodynamics and visual aesthetics.
