=﻿ PROJECT: Landscape in high rise building = ** Principle to guide the design **  1. ** Economics and sustainability ** : This type of building can reduce energy consumption escalating environmental problems such as Urban Heat Island effect and global warming. Full asset lifecycle, from the embodied energy used in mining and manufacture,through the longevity of the product,to the redevelopment andreuse options at the end of its predicted life.  High rise building is not alone in the city, so to reduce the effect on the other buildings is to reduce the emission of CO 2. The location of high rise building is upon the infrastructure of the city, For that platform to be truly sustainable, and for commercial benefits to be realised, proper provision has to be made for health, education, and security as well as transport, water, waste management and power.  2. ** Shapes and size matter(business): ** wall-to-floor ratio is an important factor to effect the cost of the high rise building. More percent of facade for every square feet of floor area, more external walls constitute more percent of the total net trade cost of a tall building, it can affect the bottom line. 3. **Thermal comfort (comfortable living condition):** considering the factors influence the physical condition in high rise building, from 3 aspect: wind, humidity, sun radiation. Maximize to use the technology to achieveing the standard instead of HVAC system.  4. ** Neighborhood ** **:** sky court garden and rooftop offers an opportunity for building’s occupants to be in contact with natural elements above the ground. Also sky court garden not only provide good views, but also provide an comfortable and beautiful environment for the occupants to communication or have some public activities.  5. ** psychological ** **need**: nature environment can release the stress of the employee in the official high rise building, which can improve the working efficiency. nature enhances emotional well-being, reduces stress and in particular cases, improves mental health. ** Environment/city ** : beyond the project itself, such as land utilisation and the effect of density / urban sprawl / the environment. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 1**.** ** Operational value ** generated by its effectiveness in business processes. For office building, this building attracts companies to located, so the increase of people will influence <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">the traffic, and other supported facilities around it. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 2. ** Brand value ** that benefits corporate image (note here the purchasing of the naming rights of the famous Chicago monument Sears Towers by the Willis Group ). If the high <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">building is the landmark of the city, it helps to beauty the city, also it will attract more business opportunities. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 3. ** Contingent value **, or the multiplier effect of a development on its surroundings as described above <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">**Owner of the building**: legal entity with rights to develop project. Owner typically holds contract with architect, so the architects do the whole project according to the requirements of the owner. In other words, owner has the ultimate decision making authority because the owner provide finance for the whole cost, which design of the building is based on. <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Architect pursues a balance of the owner's desire and his designing. <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">**User**: people work in the building, what they need is a comfortable working space. So what is the meaning of "comfortable" for the occupants is the goal for the project from psychical and physical aspect.
