dc.descriptionDue to the escalating concerns over climate change and environmental degradation, the adoption of green architecture principles in high-rise buildings has become imperative. This study examined existing literature on green architecture with a view to determine prospects, challenges and solutions of implementing green architecture features within the context of skyscrapers to achieve sustainability. The study is a review paper that relied on secondary sources to gather data from 43 articles. The data were content analysed using thematic approach and the findings descriptively presented in themes, with the aid of figures and tables. The findings underscored the potential of green architecture to address pressing concerns related to climate change and environmental degradation. The review revealed that incorporating green architecture principles in high-rise buildings offers significant potential for reducing energy consumption, minimizing environmental impact, and enhancing occupant’s well-being. However, conflicting priorities, operational inefficiencies, and the potential pitfalls of green building initiatives pose significant hurdles to implementing green architecture strategies in high-rise buildings. Also, the scale and complexity of skyscrapers which demand innovative solutions and careful considerations that are not oftentimes fully envisaged in the planning and design stages, is also a challenge. The study suggests fostering communication among stakeholders and advocates for widespread adoption of green building practices towards enhancing sustainability in the development of high-rise buildings.
