Abstract

Architecture of high-rise buildings depends on many factors, which greatly vary frominitial concepts, functionality of designed spaces, its proportions to human perception andurban context, and structural support and technological capabilities to support desiredconcept. Thus, in any analysis of the factors that architecture depends on is its structuralsupport, which has to fulfill four primary structural requirements: static equilibrium,stability, strength and rigidity of the structure. A turnover for fast development inconstruction of high-rises occurred in the second half of the 20th century; strong economyforced and supported technological developments, and even the new generation ofcomputers and software helped in the development of more efficient structural systems.Innovative structural systems such as tubular forms, outriggers, diagrids andmegastructures enabled design and construction of high–rise structures as common thingand inevitable part of new living style.
