Description
"Through hundreds of images and numerous contemporary case studies, the book shows that where structure is thoroughly integrated into the making of architecture, it adds layers of richness to a design and enhances the realization of architectural design concepts. New insights into the role of structure arise by focusing upon the intersection where the technical and the aesthetic meet to create the discipline of 'architecture'."--Jacket.
