| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to examine the concept and development process of Skyscraper architecture and clarify the importance of external design plan and the future orientation by means of the determinant factors of the facade form and case analysis by the determined factors, thereby suggesting better form of various external designs in terms of its role as a landmark, image improvement, and urban context. It analysed by searching for the cases of more than 50-stories Skyscraper architecture at home and abroad, dividing the form generation elements into floor plan, cross section, and elevation for its symbolic external design. More specifically, the form of floor plan was divided into rectangular, circular, polygonal, and transformational form, that of cross section into composition of mass and solid forms. We can find the trend of skyscraper exterior design which is gradually moved to non uniform design. In spite of increasing building construction cost, new skyscraper owner wants to show to advantage. Another new trend of skyscraper exterior design element is about eco-design. Contemporary Architects think about natural source of energy, like solar energy and wind energy. As a result new skyscraper shows its varied exterior design. |
