Article Evaluation of Space Efficiency, Structural Systems, Material Applications, and Design of High-Rise Structures in South Korea(Highlights of Science, 2025) Aktaş, K.O.; Zaim, A.; Aslantamer, Ö.N.; Aktas, G.G.; Ilgın, H.E.This study examines 61 South Korean towers, analyzing their architectural configu-rations, structural systems, material applications, and spatial efficiencies. Findings indicate a pre-dominance of central core configurations and prismatic forms, reinforcing a function-driven approach to vertical urbanism. Structural system preferences highlight the widespread use of out-riggered frames, ensuring lateral stability while optimizing floor layouts. Material selection trends reveal a reliance on concrete, aligning with global patterns, while composite materials (25%) are used in high-performance supertall structures. Functionally, residential high-rises dominate, with mixed-use (2%) and office towers (11%) remaining limited. This research also identifies an aver-age spatial efficiency of 76%, aligning with international benchmarks, though variations exist across cities due to core-to-gross floor area ratios, structural constraints, and service core alloca-tions. This research underscores South Korea’s strategic high-rise development, prioritizing space optimization, structural efficiency, and economic feasibility. However, opportunities re-main for increased functional diversity, broader hybrid material adoption, and greater integration of sustainable design innovations. These findings contribute to global skyscraper analysis, offering insights into high-rise architecture’s role in urban resilience and density management. © 2025 Aktaş et al.Article A Comparative Analysis of Space Efficiency in Skyscrapers: Case Studies From the Middle East, Asia, and North America(2025) Aslantamer, Özlem Nur; Ilgın, Hüseyin EmreThis study conducts a critical comparative analysis of spatial efficiency in supertall buildings across three major geographic contexts: the Middle East, Asia, and North America. Through the examination of selected case studies representative of each region, the research investigates the interplay between architectural form, structural typology, and the distribution of usable floor area within vertical structures. The findings reveal significant regional variations in spatial efficiency metrics and core-to-GFA (gross floor area) proportions. In the Asian context, towers predominantly adopt a tapered morphological strategy combined with composite structural systems, resulting in an average spatial efficiency of approximately 68%, with vertical service cores occupying nearly 30% of the GFA. Conversely, Middle Eastern high-rises, typically defined by prismatic massing and monolithic concrete structures, demonstrate a higher spatial efficiency—averaging 76%—with a core-to-GFA ratio of around 21%. North American skyscrapers, frequently employing prismatic or setback configurations alongside reinforced concrete systems, exhibit comparable efficiency rates, with an average of 76% and a similarly proportioned core area. Despite these regional divergences, the analysis identifies a consistent inverse correlation between building height and spatial efficiency, underscoring the technical and spatial challenges associated with height-induced inefficiencies in high-rise design. By elucidating these interregional patterns, the study offers valuable insights into the optimization of vertical spatial organization, contributing to the evolving discourse on high-rise architecture and urban densification.Article A Comprehensive Study of Space Efficiency in Tall Buildings: The Australian Perspective(Kauno Technologijos Universitetas, 2025) Ilgın, H.; Aslantamer, Ö.Spatial efficiency in Australian towers is shaped by a multifaceted interaction of many parameters such as architectural and structural considerations. However, there are no comprehensive studies available on space utilization in Australian high-rise towers. The article addresses this gap by investigating 32 case studies. This study aims to investigate how contemporary Australian tall buildings achieve spatial efficiency by analyzing the relationship between architectural and structural parameters and internal usable area ratios. Key findings: residential function, centrally-located core layouts, and prismatic arrangements are the most widespread trends; concrete is the favored construction material, with the shear-walled frame system being the most commonly used structural system; average space efficiency is 82%, with a core-to-GFA ratio of 16%. The paper offers valuable understandings for construction experts to inform design decisions in high-rise construction projects within the Australian context. © 2025, Kauno Technologijos Universitetas.

The Middle East, Asia, and North America have emerged as dominant centers of high-rise development, each influenced by unique environmental, cultural, and economic conditions. This study employs a case study approach, analyzing 133 skyscrapers (≥300 m) using qualitative and quantitative metrics. The analysis focuses on core typology, structural systems, materials, and architectural form, based on data extracted from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) database. Findings reveal regional distinctions: Asian skyscrapers favor tapered and composite designs with outriggered frame systems; Middle Eastern towers emphasize prismatic forms using concrete; and North American high-rises balance setback and prismatic forms with concrete and shear-frame systems. A central core layout dominates all regions, driven by efficiency and safety considerations. These insights offer valuable benchmarks for architects, engineers, and urban planners aiming to optimize skyscraper design in dense urban contexts. These insights offer valuable benchmarks for architects, engineers, and urban planners aiming to optimize high-rise design in dense urban contexts. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Shanghai's High-Rise Buildings: Exploring Space Efficiency, Structural Systems, Forms, Materials and Core Designs(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Aktas, Kurt Orkun; Aslantamer, Ozlem Nur; Aktas, Gozen Guner; Ilgin, Huseyin EmreThis study examines the architectural and structural design considerations influencing space efficiency in Shanghai's high-rise buildings. Understanding space efficiency is significant because it directly affects land-use intensity, economic returns, and sustainability outcomes. The objective of this study is to quantify space efficiency ratios by analyzing the relationships between core types, function, form, and structural systems, and assess temporal and comparative benchmarks for Shanghai within the global context. The novelty lies in its combined focus on architectural and structural determinants of space efficiency, supported by data on 43 high-rise buildings in Shanghai. Methodologically, this study relies on quantitative analysis of Net Floor Area (NFA), Gross Floor Area (GFA), and core ratios, supplemented with comparative evaluation of building forms, materials, and structural systems. The key findings reveal: (1) average space efficiency at 75% with core-to-GFA ratios of 23%, varying between 52-93% and 5-33% respectively; (2) the dominance of prismatic forms supported by composite outriggered frame systems; (3) a decline in efficiency with increasing building height due to larger service cores. Practically, this research highlights opportunities for stakeholders - including architects, engineers, and policymakers - to adopt lightweight materials, prefabrication techniques, and smart building systems that improve space efficiency in future high-rise developments.Article Yeni bir Yapı Tipolojisini Keşfetmek: Yapısal Hibritler(2025) Ilgın, Hüseyin Emre; Aslantamer, Özlem NurIn recent years, the increasing demand for iconic towers, coupled with intense competition among major cities to construct the most distinguished vertical structures and the continuous pursuit of building the world’s loftiest structures, has come to characterize the forefront of modern high-rise architecture. In this race, many vertical structures have essentially become vertical extensions of land, primarily aimed at maximizing the financial value of the ground they occupy. However, this approach has often resulted in the proliferation of uninspiring and homogeneous towers across the globe, largely products of isolated architectural practices. Despite nearly 150 years of innovation, the architectural design of high-rise buildings has yet to fully achieve the desired advancement, particularly in terms of urban integration and structural design. In this study, the authors propose a classification system for contemporary high-rise typologies, with a particular focus on hybrid structures. The study underscores the importance of spatial quality and the integration of structural design, aiming to raise architects' awareness of structure as a fundamental element of architecture. Structural hybrids offer a transformative approach to high-rise design by integrating structure and architecture to overcome the limitations of standardized designs, creating dynamic and contextually enriched spaces.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 3Space Efficiency in Tall Timber Buildings: A Comprehensive Review(Highlights of Science, 2025) Ilgın, H.; Aslantamer, Ö.Tall timber construction is gaining popularity due to its notable environmental and economic benefits throughout its lifecycle. Maximizing space efficiency in these buildings is a key factor in ensuring project viability. However, there has been a lack of comprehensive research on the space efficiency of these projects. This study focused on analyzing 50 tall buildings (over eight stories) globally to improve insights into the design elements that affect space use. The key findings include: i) predominant architectural configurations incorporate residential functions, a centrally positioned core, and prismatic building forms; ii) composite materials are the most utilized, with shear-walled frame systems being the preferred structural solution; and iii) average space efficiency is 84%, with core areas accounting for 11% of the gross floor area, ranging from 71% and 4% at the lower end to 93% and 21% at the upper end. This study provides valuable guidance for architects and other key participants engaged in the planning and construction of tall timber buildings. © 2025 Ilgın and Aslantamer.
