Contents:
Structuring space : Structure as spatial generator and mechanical object -- Spatial aspects -- Mechanical aspects Introducing structural systems -- 3. Loads -- 4. Statics -- 5. Materials -- 6. The hanger and the tie -- 7. The beam and the slab -- 8. The column and the wall -- 9. The truss and the space frame -- 10. The frame and the shear wall -- 11. The cable and the membrane --12. The arch and the vault -- 13. The dome and the shell.
Summary: This is a book that shows how to "see" structures as being integral to architecture. It engages a subject that is both about understanding the mechanical aspects of structure as well as being able to relate this to the space, form, and conceptual design ideas that are inherent to the art of building. Analysing the structural principles behind many of the best-known works of architecture from past and present alike, this book places the subject within a contemporary context.
