Abstract The purpose of this study is to clarify the design trend of high-rise office buildings which have been designed through the collaborative works with foreign architects. The meaning of collaborative works in architecture was described in terms of the classification. 21 high-rise office buildings are selected in terms of building backgrounds like context and design purpose. They are analyzed to clarify the design trend for building form, facade design, plan type, and exterior space. The high-rise office buildings designed through the collaborative works with foreign architects represent an experimental endeavor for various building forms. Many of them also introduce metallic materials or glass curtain walls for facades with refined images. Furthermore, positive approaches to utilize exterior space helped to increase the quality of urban space.
