Although the disciplines of architecture and structural engineering
have both experienced their own historical development, their
interaction has resulted in many fascinating and delightful
structures. To take this interaction to a higher level, there is a
need to stimulate the inventive and creative design of
architectural structures and to persuade architects and structural
engineers to further collaborate in this process, exploiting
together new concepts, applications and challenges. The Structures
and Architecture set of book of abstracts (704pp) and full paper
searchable CD-ROM (2262pp) presents over 300 selected papers
presented at the 2nd International Conference on Structures and
Architecture Conference (ICSA2013), organized by the School of
Architecture of the University of Minho, Guimaraes, Portugal (July
2013), to promote the synergy in the collaboration between the
disciplines of architecture and structural engineering. The set
addresses all major aspects of structures and architecture,
including building envelopes, comprehension of complex forms,
computer and experimental methods, concrete and masonry structures,
educating architects and structural engineers, emerging
technologies, glass structures, innovative architectural and
structural design, lightweight and membrane structures, special
structures, steel and composite structures, the borderline between
architecture and structural engineering, the history of the
relationship between architects and structural engineers, the
tectonics of architectural solutions, the use of new materials,
timber structures and more. The contributions on creative and
scientific aspects of the conception and construction of
structures, on advanced technologies and on complex architectural
and structural applications represent a fine blend of scientific,
technical and practical novelties in both fields. This set is
intended for both researchers and practitioners, including
architects, structural and construction engineers, builders and
building consultants, constructors, material suppliers and product
manufacturers, and other experts and professionals involved in the
design and realization of architectural, structural and
infrastructural projects.
