Innovation in LEED Architecture and Nanotechnology
Innovation generally needs to come with the idea of new designs and high-quality construction technology for LEED architecture. When we mention about the cultural heritage buildings, innovation made a big change in them by using the nanoparticle technology for consolidation and also conservation effects. Inheritance from the past experiences could be sufficient also for the high tech building design, regarding LEED architecture.

For cultural heritage buildings, the consolidation and conservation innovations began with the idea of using calcium hydroxide nano-particles for the porous media structures. By this way, the strength and mechanical strength improvement could able to get managed. Also, some other innovation studies could be possible by using titanium, silica, and aluminum-based compounds. For the LEED architecture buildings, when the issue is innovation, the material technology and the construction techniques could be also the first issues to consider on. For the facade of the high rise buildings, such as the Empire State Building in the United States, the surface area give the opportunity to make it possible to design innovation. Empire State that has been completed on April 2013, is one of the well-known and highly reputed skyscrapers of the United States. In New York, there are also 5 other high rise green buildings; Bank of America Building (One Bryant Park), Hearst Building, One World Trade Center, The New York Times Building and Condé Nast Building. VOC compounds and the risk of the volatile chemical evaporation from the construction materials through to the air is another challenge to deal with.

In Milan/ITALY, sustainable energy and LEED standards high rise buildings also the main issue for so well-qualified companies and university studies. On the point of the high rise skyscraper design, such as with the same idea of all the possible glass facade buildings, there is a great opportunity to consider for the innovative use of glass facade systems in terms of gaining energy from the solar technology. Also to create the "luminescent discovery" for solar concentrators as the innovation by using nanoparticle technology has been released. Anyway, photovoltaics technology in combination with the chemistry and nanotechnology could be the main idea of the innovation in each cases, in terms of solar energy, for energy star and LEED architecture buildings.

LEED Gold awarded project in Istanbul/Turkey - Manzara Adalar, Kartal/ISTANBUL - a great innovation for the LEED architecture and the skyscraper technology. Before this project, Kartal region of the Asian side of the Istanbul has been known with the middle-class housing construction systems and the industrial area of Istanbul. The general architecture in Kartal seaside part was 3-4 storey housing systems and actually the most important role was the contribution to the Turkish industry with the factories that have been established in the last 35-50 years time. After the architectural competition of Kartal Urban Transformation Project, the public view of the Kartal region has been changed. World wide known architect Zaha Hadid has won the competition with an extereme design of totally high rise buildings. This new concept of Kartal, has been the starting point of the innovations and design for the high quality building systems in this old industrial transformation region. Today, Kartal has been gained a complete innovation with the LEED Gold project of "Manzara Adalar". Some other projects that has been awarded with the LEED certificate in Turkey are, Antakya: Palladium Antakya Shopping Center - LEED Gold awarded, Istanbul: Ronesans Tower- LEED Platinium Awarded, Konya: Konya Science and Innovation Center, LEED Gold Awarded, Istanbul (Maslak): Spine Tower, LEED Gold Awarded, Istanbul: Torun Tower, LEED Gold Awarded.

Extreme structures that have been awarded with the LEED certificates are: "Amorepacific Headquarters in Seoul" by David Chipperfield Architects, "Project: Brave New World: SFMOMA by Snøhetta" by Snøhetta in San Francisco, CA , "Project: UFO in a Sequinned Dress: Centro Botín in Santander" by Renzo Piano Building Workshop in Zusammenarbeit mit Luis Vidal + Architects, in Santander (ES) , "Project: Vertical factory: Office building in London" by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris in London.
