Description

Structural Technology in Practiceshows you how to use structural design ideas to figure out architectural design problems. You will learn to think about what to do, make models and prototypes of your ideas, break them to see how they fail, and then evaluate how to make your ideas better. Discover simple ways to make frames from different materials. Then move on to learn about more advanced types of structures like shells, membranes, and space frames. Working hands-on with the ideas means you will know on a deep level how structures act when using different forms and materials, which will make you a better architect. Includes more than 400 color images and a glossary.
