description Tall buildings have become a sign of Economic and technological development in advanced countries, resolving different issues coming from the significant increase in the urban dwellers and land price. This type of buildings is characterized by its high levels of energy consumption and design complexity. The design process of tall buildings involves many professionals from several disciplines, requiring an efficient management to coordinate and interpret the interrelations between these various disciplines in the design stage taking into consideration the global awareness of energy consumption and the urgent need to reduce the quantity of energy used by this type of buildings. Lean process tools and methods have been adapted to the design management process in the AEC industry - known as Lean Design management (LDM) - to improve the context of design and overcome its deficiencies with minimum wastage with a greener comprehensive view of the whole project. Applying lean design management tools to the design process of tall buildings will help in overcoming the challenges coming from the complex design process of tall buildings. Thus, the objective of this paper is to set preliminary guidelines for the integration of the lean design management concept with the design process management of green tall buildings, through a literature review. More than 200 research paper -ranging from 2010 till present mostly indexed in Scopus database- including the aim of the study were selected for review. Research found a number of preliminary guidelines for optimizing the design process of green tall buildings through the adaptation of the lean design management concept. This research is meant to be the first phase of the study to assess the application of lean principles to the design process of tall buildings through practical analysis of case studies that will be carried out in further studies.
