    © Ahmed Sameer © Ahmed Sameer On 29th of March, 2014, Earth Hour celebrated its 8th anniversary. Once again, Earth Hour called on the world to unite and demonstrate the necessity of taking action against climate change by switching off their light for one hour. This year, Earth Hour’s impact was record-breaking worldwide, reaching over hundreds of millions of people in 162 countries in over 7000 cities. Famous landmarks all over the world switched off for the hour, such as the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Golden Gate Bridge in California and a new landmark this year - the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Turkey. Beyond the global switch off, Earth Hour called for an amplified, multiplied and powerful hour through the launch of a new platform “Earth Hour Blue”. 2014 marks the UAE’s 7th year participating in Earth Hour; and as darkness swept over the 7 emirates on the night of 29th March 2014, the world’s tallest building, the UAE’s Burj Khalifa and the iconic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque switched off in support of the hour. Residents also participated in an amplified Earth Hour in response to EWS-WWF’s call to not only to switch off for the hour, but also to switch to energy efficient lighting as a first step towards long term impact and change. Andy Ridley, the CEO of Earth Hour commented on how the crescendo of Earth Hour made 2014 to be one of the most influential year yet. “It is a fairly wild experience to watch as countries and cities from around the world start to share their plans for the night and beyond the hour, each story builds momentum and inspires other teams to share and do more.

One of the most important reasons driven the achievement is the continuously evolvement of structural systems. In this paper, previous classifications of structural systems are summarized and different types of structural systems are introduced. Besides the structural systems, innovations in other aspects of today's design of high-rise buildings including damping systems, construction techniques, elevator systems as well as sustainability are presented and discussed.
