-Analysing facade design in super-high-rise apartment houses in the center area of Tokyo Part 1-

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to grasp the elementary materials for planning and designing the facade design in super-high-rise apartment houses.
Super-High-rise apartment houses over 100m height in the center area of Tokyo were selected as samples. Simple indexes which explain the characteristics of facade design on samples were extracted as 7 physical variables.
The characteristics of facade design were ascertained by analyzing these 7 physical variables, using multi dimensional scaling and regression analysis.
