Structure and Architecture, 3rd Edition, is a textbook that analyzes structural design and its relationship with architecture. The book explores the interface between technical and visual elements by explaining the connections among structural form, structural performance, and architectural design.
Coverage addresses foundational concepts such as structural requirements, materials, and complete structural arrangements. Additions prepared for the 2019 edition examine structural theory, structural philosophy, the contributions of prominent engineers to the evolution of Modern architecture, and sustainable design.
Illustrated throughout, this core-curriculum text supports students of architecture, structural engineering, and architectural history, while also serving as a resource for practitioners in those disciplines.
