High school subjects to be an architect?

High school is more or less unimportant, except that you need to study whatever will get you into college, and if you're planning to be an architect, you might want to load up on optional math and "shop" classes, particularly those that involve drafting. Physics wouldn't hurt.

What you should study in college is, of course, architecture. Exactly what classes that entails is up to the discretion of the college; if you'd like to know what the requirements for the major are, contact the college you're planning to attend and ask.

What are various design factors that influence energy saving in building construction?

I presume you mean that you want the completed building to save energy as opposed to the construction process. First and foremost is holding on to heat (or cold) that you're paying to create (you "pay" for firewood with your time, energy and the various costs associated with your chainsaw and splitting gear). Insulation and sealing inside against outside are the keys to this endeavor. Some of the most highly effective ways of pursuing these goals are "Earth Bermed/ Sod covered/ or Underground construction and the use of vestibules to prevent the wholesale loss of conditioned air when someone enters or leaves. Kind of like an "Air Lock" on a space shuttle (or an as-yet fictional Star Ship). For many folks, siting a house into a south facing slope is not practical. Other factors become more important (they're always important). There are limits to how much you should seal a house (especially in moist environments). Highly efficient appliances, though expensive, have usually paid for the cost difference somewhere from 3 to 10 times over the life of the appliance. In these days of greater energy costs, that number should be greater. Natural lighting can be a huge efficiency factor, as can be having properly calculated windows and overhangs on the East, South and West sides of your house. There are many good books on "Solarizing" your house plans. one I highly recommend (if you can find it is called "other Homes and Garbage" (a play on "Better Homes and Gardens" magazine title).

We do not need skyscrapers, yet people choose to build them for several reasons. They are built so that many living spaces or office spaces can exist on a smaller piece of land.

They may also be built for aesthetic reasons: to beautify an area, to attract toursists, to improve the appearance of big cities, or to compete with other skyscraper designs.

Architectural choices affect the environment by their manufacture and their effect on energy usage over the building's lifespan.

What are Greek columns like?

They were tall stone columns used to support buildings. They were used for support, so although the Greeks made every effort to make then appear to be straight, they were sometimes slightly tilted for best support. There were three main styles of Greek columns.

Doric columns: Tall simple columns. The had round tops and no bases. Decoration was a minimum, and usually consisted of fluted lines running lengthwise down the column, if there was any decoration at all.

Ionic columns: These were slighty dressier, and often had scrollwork at the top and or bottom of the column. Sometimes the entire column was carved out to be a statue of a god, goddess, or hero. When they were not carved into characters, they were more heavily fluted than the Doric columns.

Corinthean columns: These were very eleaberate and elegant columns. They were slender compared to the Doric and Ionic columns, and the detail work was more intricate and leafy. The tops and bases were heavily decorated. The Temple of Zues is noted for its use of this type of column.
