Abstract
From the early history, we can visualize that there is continuous development in urban areas. Development not only city settlements but rather in individual buildings along with innovative technologies from pyramids of Egypt to Eiffel tower to till date. Slowly and gradually, people were migrating from villages to town areas with the demand of more employment which directly escalate the need of land for to perform work and to live. Global warming, energy and water shortage, urban sprawl, air pollution, overflowing landfills, disease, and global conflict will be the legacy of the twenty-first century. Rapid development is overtaking and transforming villages, towns, cities and metropolises in the world. Social& economic transformation is producing new aspiration in the society. Development of world is mainly driven by economy. The city continued dynamism it given its business required ideal surrounding in which to operate. The time has come to pause a little, to think about long term development objectives rather than speeding blindly into a state of exhaustion unless we move quickly towards the notion and implementation of sustainability it will be tough to survive and need the ways to come out of it. This paper will discuss –How sustainability will be achieved through tall office building and analysis of convenient forms for tall building.
