Conceptual Structural Design: Bridging the gap between architects and engineers can help both architects and engineers collaborate more effectively with their design or project teams.

What does this book cover?

The 2^nd edition of Conceptual Structural Design: Bridging the gap between architects and engineers is the perfect choice for almost anyone who finds themselves on a collaborative design team.

Conceptual Structural Design: Bridging the gap between architects and engineers is divided into a few main sections:

• The first part looks primarily at the theoretical side of both structural engineering and architecture, helping you understand the core of your counterpart’s approach
• Next it addresses the inspiration for structural forms – drawing from nature precedents and pure physics
• Finally, you’ll study a series of case studies. Each of these includes in-depth interviews with the design teams actually involved with these projects.
