Summary

Green Skyscrapers addresses the urgent need for eco-friendly architecture by examining how high-rise buildings can evolve from environmental burdens into sustainable solutions. It highlights innovative approaches like integrating renewable energy systems, such as solar power and wind energy, and incorporating vertical forests to improve air quality and biodiversity. The book emphasizes that sustainable design isn't just an add-on but a fundamental element in creating sustainable urban environments. It also explores the potential of passive design strategies to minimize resource consumption.

 
The book progresses methodically, first establishing the environmental consequences of conventional skyscraper design. It then introduces core concepts like energy-efficient building envelopes and water conservation systems. Finally, it delves into renewable energy integration and the ecological benefits of vertical forests, presenting case studies of pioneering green skyscrapers worldwide.

 
By showcasing practical examples and architectural plans, Green Skyscrapers offers a data-driven approach to demonstrating the real-world viability of sustainable architecture and its role in climate change mitigation and urban sustainability.

    Coding is a very important part of our reality today. It is one of the fabrics that enable the modern world to run efficiently. I know you'd like to learn to code, or at least you know someone who would like to learn to code. But, perhaps you are being held back by the phrase "coding is too hard." I remember a friend telling me this once when I told him of my intention to learn to code. He was like, "Are you serious, it is very hard. You'd actually have to be a genius to learn how to code. In fact, you'd have to be some kind of mad man". We both knew I was neither a genius nor a madman. Fast forward 2 years later, now I know to code. Not just that, I'm also teaching everyday men and women the fundamentals of the subject. 
    There are lots of job opportunities for coders and programmers today. In fact, coding jobs are growing at an astounding rate. If the Internet and data are the infrastructures, then coders are the construction workers. As long as there is infrastructure to be built, construction workers will always have work. It is believed that this trend will continue for a long time. Now is the time to position yourself to benefit from this trend. 
    In this book, you'll be learning the fundamentals of coding languages, how to become an expert in the shortest time possible, and much more. I have attempted to demystify coding because coding is not that difficult, and all you need is a good teacher. This book has been written with you (a beginner) in mind. So there is no unnecessary jargon or words that will fly over your head.

    Now the interesting facts about birds we have always with us. We can find them out for ourselves, which is a very pleasant thing to do, or we can take the word of others, of which there is no lack. But it is the quaint fancies about birds which are in danger of being lost. The long-time fancies which the world's children in all lands have been taught are quite as important as the every-day facts. They show what the little feathered brothers have been to the children of men; how we have come to like some and to dislike others as we do; why the poets have called them by certain nicknames which we ought to know; and why a great many strange things are so, in the minds of childlike people.
