The housing typologies that meet shelter and other basic needs are diverse, and bungalows are one of them. These buildings are generally single-story and mostly use wooden building materials. This paper introduces a new construction technique using steel, which is more durable than typical wooden bungalow houses. This design aimed to create a new building stock based on the logic of mass production, where modular steel bars can be prefabricated and transported to the construction site. An architectural design with a steel construction instead of a wooden one and a hexagonal plan instead of a rectangular one was developed. Structures designed with wooden and steel materials were compared using the structural analysis method. Structural analysis of the construction designs using wood and S235 steel grade was performed with the SAP2000 software. The structures were evaluated according to displacement, modal analysis periods, and self-weight, and their static suitability was tested. This new architectural design was developed because steel can maintain its strength for a long time compared to wood and has a higher modulus of elasticity. The results showed that wood and steel materials exhibit similar behavior under the same cross-sections, but the steel structure has come to the forefront as it is lighter than wood in terms of self-weight.

Due to the advantages it provides, the outrigger system is widely used as a load-bearing system element in high-rise buildings around the world. In this study, the design parameters and structure morphology of high-rise buildings were examined, and it was aimed to investigate the performance and cost effects of load-bearing system preferences by designing two types of high-rise buildings in line with the obtained data. The Sta4Cad program, in which the finite element model is applied, was used to perform integrated static, earthquake, and wind analyses of multi-storey reinforced concrete structures. Because of the finite element analysis of the models, when the construction costs were examined, it was found that the outrigger system has a cost rate of 7.2% lower than the frame system. Considering the design trends, the study will create a focal point for researchers and designers and contribute to significant resource savings.

Advances in material science, the availability of high-strength materials, improved analytical tools, and a better understanding of structural design and behavior in high-rise buildings have produced lightweight and slender generations of high-rise buildings. The effect of wind loads on high-rise buildings' design and implementation processes is an essential issue for which architecture and engineering disciplines produce solutions together. This article examines the aerodynamic design strategies of high-rise buildings in the context of the structural system, form, wind interaction. In this study, the case study method was used to collect and analyze information about high-rise buildings, and a table was created with the criterion sampling method to understand the critical factors affecting the building performance for the field study, and the obtained data was analyzed. As a result of the examination, it was determined that it is essential to consider and evaluate the aerodynamic properties of high-rise buildings as a whole during and after the design phase within the scope of the structural system, as well as the form and wind precautions to be taken.
