<![CDATA[This research discusses the relationship between architectural system and structural system in the design of tall buildings in Surabaya City during the period 1995 - 2024. The method used is descriptive qualitative by analyzing 83 high-rise buildings based on the parameters of function, form, structural material and extensive facade material. The data was classified according to the construction period and main characteristics of the building, and obtained from various literature and online sources. The analysis shows that mixed use buildings dominate vertical development in Surabaya. The two most commonly used building forms are setback and tied across height form. Concrete material is the main choice in the structure due to its strength and efficiency. While in the facade, a combination of two to three types of materials, such as curtain wall, composite panel and concrete wall, is most widely used to support visual and technical aspects. Relationships between parameters were visualized in the form of diagrams to identify evolving design patterns. The findings provide a comprehensive overview of high-rise building typologies and technologies in Surabaya, and can serve as an initial reference for architects, engineers and stakeholders in designing efficient and sustainable vertical solutions amidst urban land constraints.]]>
