| Abstract: | The tectonics of structural systems provides an architectural approach to the theory of structural systems. This book combines: 1. Structural recommendations to follow during the architectural design of various structural systems, 2. The tectonic treatment of structural recommendations in architecture./ Written expressly for students, this book makes structures understandable and useful providing: 1. Practical and useful knowledge about structures, 2. A design - based approach to the subject of structures ans the theory of design. / Successful architectural examples for each structural system are given in order to demonstrate that tectonics can be achieved with sound technical knowledge. Over 300 illustrations visually unpack the topics being explained, making the book ideal for the visual learner. |
| Description: | Andrew Charleson: "The Tectonics of Structural Systems explains the principles of building structures in an architectural context. It introduces a comprehensive range of structural systems and imparts a wealth of practical structural knowledge that will find application in the design studio. Architectural students, especially, will appreciate the large number of explanatory diagrams." Agnus Macdonald: "This beautifully illustrated book provides a usefull insight, from an architect's perspective, into the often problematic interface between structural requirements and the tectonics of architecture. A particular strength is the large number of high quality graphic depictions of the functioning of a wide range of structural types and case-study buildings." |
