Design of a high-rise building is the final result of a complicated process in which a considerable number of elements could have reciprocating effects. Moreover, different factors such as cultural, social and economical ones have certain effect on it. Principles and considerations resulted from basic and practical research in the field of architectural design, structural design and urban development (provided the formation and execution of necessary policies in other aspects are coordinated) can provide criteria, requirements and constraints for appropriate and desirable usage of high-rise buildings. In general, conditional utilisation of high-rise buildings can be considered as a realistic solution in order to accommodate people and to fulfill other related requirements for appropriate functions in big cities.
This research indicates that high-rise buildings can be a suitable solution f9r criteria, requirements and constraints of a considerable number of functions and the right answer to the needs and necessities of surrounding. The high-rise buildings can be used as residential, commercial and administration complexes. Furthermore, they can accommodate different activities related to each other in one building.
The research concludes that the application of simple and regular forms in architectural design not only helps the stability of high-rise buildings but it increases the safety factor. Unification in relation to close-by buildings is an effective element in producing desired appearance of high-rise buildings. In order to reach human scale and desirable form of the building, one can produce the depth of sight in the surrounding spot in order to achieve nice
relationship between the form and the viewer.
The research presents principles of high-rise buildings
design. It has been carried out, based on theoretical study, investigation and analysis of previous research in the field, review and consideration of different views on high-rise buildings, field study and analysis of its results based on the different factors such as architectural design, structural design, urban development and environment.
