| Abstract |
After Industrial revolution, high-rise buildings have been designed and constructed in major cities, because it was recognized as one of the solutions to release required architectural spaces in limited area. From this point, high-rise buildings have became a dramatic phenomenon and a powerful expression of architecture in the modern civilization due to their huge mass and vertical spaces. The design of high-rise building needs a spacial approach to form, space, vertical movement, construction and etc comparing with low-rise buildings. The reason is that high-rise buildings have a different characteristics for environmental system such as strong wind and huge spaces. Therefore, to achieve optimum building facade design with architectural aesthetics, the design has become collaborative, requiring the input of architects, engineers, and other consultants. The target of the study is to understand a situation of tall building's facade design application according the past and now. It is very important work to know what design issues are applied for tall building's facade design by the times. For get the target of the study, this study starts with a research of a definition of general facade design and tall building facade design and then analyses of existing tall office buildings by survey. It will give a chance to inform design methodology for high-rise building's facade design before starting initial facade design. Also it will make a database to understand what facade design is changed in tall building by the times. |
