Abstract Tall buildings have been designed and constructed in major cities after Industrial revolution, 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 due to their huge mass and vertical spaces in the modern civilization. When comparing with common low-rise buildings, design of tall building needs a particular approach to form, space, vertical movement, construction, facade design and etc by the large scale mass and by an environmental system. Specially tall building's envelope design influences on the control of internal and external space environment in buildings. Therefore, the target of the study is to understand a situation of multi function tall building's envelope design tectonic and give the information of envelope design strategies by researched database. For get the target of the study, this study starts with a research of a definition of general envelope design then analyses of existing multi function tall buildings by the research and make a comparative analysis among types. It will give a chance to inform design methodology for multi function building's envelope design before starting initial envelope design and research.
