In architectural design, material, form, and function are inseparable. Since the function will require a form to complete it, one cannot be evaluated independently from the other. The form that will emerge is the main point of the design. One of the most important building components that will provide the desired design efficiency is the load-bearing system and material. Today, with the advancement of technology, the load-bearing system setup and material performance have also improved. This enabled the architect to make freer designs.

This study aimed to examine the solutions to architectural engineering problems in Apple buildings that became iconic with innovative materials and advanced structural systems. In this respect, we have tried to find out what kind of specialization this brand, which has buildings in many countries, has been used in the solutions based on the countries for the criterion such as transparency in the buildings, minimization of the carriers that divide the space to ensure smoothness (crossing wide spans), the desire to expand the space in the upper floors due to the function, and while doing this, not requiring a load-bearer to create uninterrupted space on the lower floors (cantilever overhang), functionality, resistance to horizontal loads in direct connection with successful load-bearing system design, natural lighting, and sustainability. The research method used in the study is data collection, tracer ,and content analysis from qualitative methods. The work done consists of two stages. The first stage of the study examined how the Apple Store buildings undergo a movement to develop technology, materials, and structure. The second phase of the study examined the architectural and engineering problems of Apple Store buildings presented within the scope of building scale and sustainability criteria and the design decisions made based on the countries. It has been understood that transparency, crossing wide spans and architectural-technical detail solutions, which are characteristic of Apple buildings, are developed in connection with daylight designs. Apple buildings are a focal point with remarkable modern designs, and additions to historical buildings and juxtapose the charm of the old with the dynamism of elegant contemporary architecture, making them iconic for the region, as in the examples of London and Paris buildings. Within the building scale scope, when evaluated according to the results of the analysis made as a percentage, it is seen that all of the countries examined have successful outcomes in terms of architectural-technical details of Apple buildings. In terms of countries, when the sustainable design criteria used in Apple buildings are evaluated according to the percentage analysis result, it is seen that very serious measures are taken in terms of sustainability in the Apple building in Dubai compared to other countries. Since the annual temperature is quite high in terms of climatic features, Dubai has made necessary measures to be taken. Also, many high-tech buildings in Dubai where sustainable systems are integrated have led Apple Building designers to find solutions that will make a difference. Apart from this, the fact that Apple buildings, located in different states of the USA, stand out with the measures taken in terms of sustainability can be interpreted as the goals and studies they have made on sustainable design in the country's policy make the designer more aware of this aspect. Another country that stands out with the sustainable measures taken by Apple buildings is China. The fact that it is a country dominated by high technology and Apple has made serious investments in the country regarding clean energy is thought to highlight the Apple building in China with the measures taken in this sense. As a result, the Apple brand is guiding many designers not only with its technological products but also with its innovative approaches to the built environment.
