Form and Forces
Designing Efficient, Expressive Structures
Buch Beschreibung
Here, in one volume, is all the architect needs to know to participate in the entire process of designing structures. Emphasizing bestselling author Edward Allen`s graphical approach, the book enables the reader to quickly determine the desired form of a building or other structure, and easily design it without the need for complex mathematics. This unique text teaches the whole process of structural design for architects, including selection of suitable materials, finding a suitable configuration, finding forces and size members, designing appropriate connections, and proposing a feasible method of erection. Chapters are centered on the design of a whole structure, from first ideas through construction planning. Each project is carefully chosen to bring out the fundamental issues that are then learned in the context of the design project.
