To explore the aesthetic and structural influence of the structural addition of the air passage system on the original building facade, the center of São Paulo was used as the research site. The architectural style of São Paulo’s skyline is uniform. There are several cultural and commercial buildings with different architectural styles and materials, so this is a good opportunity to test how the skyline affects architectural aesthetics. 3D modeling software Rhino and Revit were used as the main tools of this research. We use different methods to reconstruct the relationship between the building facade and the skyway, use visual 3D models to observe how the two structures of different styles and materials are combined, and explore the research on aesthetic influences. In this process, we also test the possibility of working together between the two software. Simultaneously, we can also find more suitable software to construct a damaged building model by studying the working mode between the two modeling software.
