Description
Structure as Architecture provides readers with an accessible insight into the relationship between structure and architecture, focusing on the design principles that relate to both fields. Over one hundred case studies of contemporary buildings from countries across the globe including the UK, the US, France, Germany, Spain, Hong Kong and Australia are interspersed throughout the book. The author has visited and photographed each of these examples and analysed them to show how structure plays a significant architectural role, as well as bearing loads. This is a highly illustrated sourcebook, providing a new insight into the role of structure, and discussing the point where the technical and the aesthetic meet to create the discipline of architecture. It presents a comprehensive analysis of how building structure contributes to architecture. It connects architectural design ideas and structure in the context of contemporary architecture, materials and structure. It is highly illustrated, providing a sourcebook of architectural and engineering design ideas.
