dc.description.abstractGreen architecture, otherwise known as green design or sustainable architecture, is an approach to building that prioritizes reducing negative impacts on the environment and promoting the health of individuals. Architects in the modern world are increasingly seeking solutions that not only provide a desirable living environment for humans, but also minimize harm to the planet. By utilizing the harmonious order present in nature as a design model, architects implement strategies and technologies that support sustainable architecture. Thus, this study aims to explore and assess design strategies to achieve strategies to achieve green architecture in high rise buildings within Nigeria. Employing a case study approach, four cases were examined, consisting of one local mixed use building and three international. These case studies were evaluated based on design strategies identified from empirical studies in the literature review, which includes; energy efficiency in building design, sustainable materials, biodiversity and green spaces and indoor environmental quality. By incorporating these design strategies to achieve green architecture in high rise buildings mitigate the environmental impact. Making use of these guidelines by construction stakeholders like architects, engineers, and others involved in designing and constructing mixed use tower buildings in Nigeria can effectively conserve energy resources, reduce carbon footprint, and enormously contribute to the goal of green architecture.
