The primary purpose of the structural system is to support a building, to resist various forces, to transfer the loads safely to the ground, and to give stability. In addition to this primary function, the structural system can have secondary functions, such as influence on the functionality and impact on the overall aesthetics of the building presented in the interior and exterior design. The aesthetics of a building plays a vital role because it contributes to the character and identity of a place, creating a positive and welcoming environment for residents, visitors, and workers, and directly impacting the experience of people, helping in creation of a strong brand identity, establishing an image in the mind of the public. Therefore, in this study, analysis of the impact of the structural systems on the building’s aesthetics has been made. Specific structural systems will be presented and explained. In addition, some case studies will be added to show the influence of the structural system on the building’s aesthetics
