Structure as Architecture presents a comprehensive analysis of
the indispensable role of structure in architecture. An
exploration, as well as a celebration, of structure, the book draws
on a series of design studies and case study examples to illustrate
how structure can be employed to realize a wide range of concepts
in contemporary architecture. By examining design principles that
relate to both architecture and structural engineering, Andrew
Charleson provides new insights into the relationship between both
the technical and aesthetic aspects of architecture.
Now in its second edition, the text has been extensively revised
and updated throughout. Features include:
- A brand new chapter on hidden structure, adding to the material
on exposed structures
- Two new chapters on using structure to realise common
architectural concepts through a combination of precedents and
creative design
- Over 50 new case studies from across the globe
- Easy-to-understand diagrams and a highly visual design to aid
understanding and accessibility
More than two hundred case studies of contemporary buildings
from countries such as the UK, the US, France, Germany, Spain, Hong
Kong, Australia and Japan illustrate how a thorough integration of
structure adds layers of richness and enhances the realisation of
architectural design concepts.
