✦ Synopsis

This volume bridges the gap between engineers' and architects' understanding of structural form. It aims to inspire designers to develop innovative and viable structural forms. It presents the common issues and problems faced and demonstrates how to overcome them by using high profile case studies.

Abstract:

Presented in two parts, this book aims to inspire designers to develop structural forms. The first part is theoretical and investigates source of inspiration for applying our own intuition and the �Read more...
