Summary: We are entering a new era of sustainable design where the pressures of changing climate patterns and dwindling resources have led to a burst of creativity in green technology. Perhaps the most surprising recipients of this increased attention are skyscrapers, buildings historically seen as pillars of vanity. New projects make use of the latest advances in lighting and climate control to make them as energy efficient as possible, yet their designs are as striking as ever. Here they are shown in all their visual splendour and moral merit.
