Abstract

 
The research study is based on the principle of "
 
analysis and comparison" between the selected samples from foreign projects in terms of some important points represented in: Definition of the building from the perspective of: (its location, type, date of implementation, classification, and architectural designer), in addition to the various treatments inside the buildings from the perspective of : (Environmental and architectural "climatic" elements, green architecture design thinking, and the use of Xeriscape format). This is in preparation for extracting some important results and recommendations for global experiences that interacted with technologies in the field of green architecture through their buildings at the present time, as these global models were classified as follows:

 
The EDITT Tower:
A model of a universal building executed at the end of the twentieth century.

 
Boston Fusion, Kohinoor Skyscraper:
Models of international buildings that were implemented at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

 
Green Towers in the Park:
A model of a universal building it will be implemented at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
