Space Syntax was applied to compare the MAFP and STKH. The space within MAFP was more divided into many spaces than the STKH. In both types of floor plans, the living room space had the highest degree of integration and was used for central functions in the each floor plan. The STKH and the space in the MAFP have more segregated space than integrated space. In the STKH, the master bedroom and other rooms were found to be segregated space. However, the master bedroom of the MAFP was highly integrated space. The function of the thet maru has been greatly reduced in the STKH, and the numaru was classified as a highly segregated space.

Though they have advantages in terms of aesthetic in modern architecture, however, rectangular-shaped towers causes being short of natural light due to deep interior space. There are compromised attempts to take advantages of each building shape selectively. As a result, we now witness the advent of Y-shaped, T-shaped, V-shaped and ㅈ-shaped buildings on the market. The mutative type of apartment houses usually faces southwest or southeast, which has lot of daylighting availability but anyhow, the proportion of the apartment houses which have a full south aspect. The need to verify the potential of daylighting in new building-block shapes exists. At the same time, the expansion of balcony area was legalized and thus, a visual buffer area does not exist any more. All-glass window wall on apartment houses without a balcony produces pretty harmful area with direct sunbeam. Recently, the refurbished version of conventional windows has been developed for the purposed of minimizing energy loss occurred around windows.
