In recent years, although the design schemes for the facades of high-rise residential buildings have become increasingly diverse, there are still some facades that have shortened their service life due to a lack of reasonable design, and even caused serious accidents such as instability and sliding. Based on this, the article combines practical cases to explore the design points and optimization paths of high-rise residential building facades, and advocates that architectural designers follow the practical idea of "adapting to local conditions" and apply BIM technology to the architectural design process to fundamentally solve the structural defects of high-rise residential building facades.
