So I am doing this university project and I have this old plans from an apartment that Im trying to remove some exterior walls but I can not find the structural system and cant relate to any I know previously since it seems to be an old apartment.

The plans you are showing appear to be preliminary architectural plans. You would need structural drawings in order to fully answer your question.
Most likely, the structural system is a two span continuous one-way slab bearing on three walls, two exterior and one interior, but without structural drawings, you would just be guessing. Removing significant portions of exterior walls is not a realistic goal.
