RESUMO

In the last two decades it has been observed the rise groups of tall buildings presented as sustainable or environmental, in different parts of the world, deserving special attention those located in the European context. It should be stressed, however, that elements pertaining to sustainability are often intrinsically linked to a specific element of the building, such as facades, a factor which therefore makes it questionable. Thus, based in the PhD thesis entitled The Sustainability of Tall Building: A new generation of tall buildings and their integration into urban context, this dissertation seeks to present research a critical effect on the generation of tall buildings aligned with environmental issues and sustainability. Following this objective, discussions surrounding the utopia in architecture from the early 20th century are initially introduced, which have always been associated with analysis of tall building and the green tall building. Nevertheless, the urban contexts in which the tall building became a predominant typology and a interesting architectural object either for having been part of an urban planning, both for reasons related to his image, in recent decades of the 20th century and early 21st century, have been also presented and discussed. Moreover, a deserved highlight has been given to the architectural offices that, around the world, externalize themselves as producers of this typology. At last, it was shown essential to make an analysis of case studies aligned with environmental performance criteria. The case studies are not limited to buildings in operation, or approved to be built, they also include designs proposals for architecture competitions. Indeed, bringing the research an overview with regard to the sustainability of the tall building, it ends up bringing about issues of urban environmental impact, however, without losing the focus on the related environmental performance of the architectural design. Finally, this study brings a critical view on the design of the tall building with regards to issues of sustainability, which understanding is given through an optic that, broadly, addressing everything that is proposed, approved, built and achieved through the buildings in operation.
