Included are the sizes of rooms, number of storeys, storey heights, facade, finishings, and various types of doors and windows, type of roofing, color of paint for interiors and exteriors and other decorative elements. In other words, the “skin” of the structure. Structural design is the design of the support for the architectural structure that includes the framing plan, sizes of members - slab, beam, girder, column and foundation; and the accompanying reinforcement if in reinforced concrete, or l-beams or H-beams if in steel or a combination of both.
