Although the building structure and its performance looks different, but also structure always has crucial, affect on building architecture. Structural design goal is to create some aesthetic and functional form providing standards required in architectural design of building. Thinkable point in interaction between structure and architecture is the importance of the structure and its role in architectural design. In case of interaction, architectural design is done and finally the importance will be given to structure as element adding the architectural design. In another case, along with the architectural design, structural design is done and both have grown and resulted together and also the structure can arrive in many cases to help architecture. But the case of interaction between architecture and structure in building design can be investigated wherein the architectural shapes are formed of their structure ideas. In other word, a good architect who has general knowledge about the behavior of structures, in the same beginning can achieve an acceptable architecture with heeding design principles and aesthetic criteria by using of the structure and the structural forms. In this paper, using theoretical studies and analysis of different perspectives in the field of architecture and building engineering, the interaction of structure and architecture will be considered and focuses on structural form as a source of architectural design and create an innovative and amazing architecture.
