The goal is to achieve the research main aim, which is identified in the aesthetics of the exposed structure design. This link and relation between the theoretical and practical part lead to the new strategies identified by the analysis of the parameters approaches. However, the architects nowadays began to present the structure as element of aesthetic to complete their vision in the beauty of the façade concept. That’s why the reason of the exposed structure in a building began to be a landmark. The aesthetics of the exposed structure also vary between the kinetic and the balanced structure in the building and specially the facades. The aesthetics of the exposed structure provides architecture with the ideas of designing a structure to optimize the problem-solution of the internal spaces, and establish different ways to explore the different types of exposed structure.
