Abstract: To explore the spatial distribution of urban architecture is important for urban planning, building layout and eco-city construction. Based on the threedimensional information of the buildings in Shinan District, Shandong Province in 2012, the buildings were divided into five types as residential building, industrial building, commercial building, educational and medical building and others according to the use properties, and low-rise building, multi-story building, mid-tall story building, high building and super-high building according to the height, respectively. The general statistical and geostatistical methods were used to analyze the characteristics of spatial distribution and composition of building types in Shinan District and its ten sub-districts. The results showed that residential, commercial, multi-story and high buildings were the dominant types, buildings were unevenly distributed, and the composition of building types was significantly different among the ten sub-districts. The spatial differentiation of building types was highly consistent with the regional function and development planning.
