Although Architecture and Structural Engineering have both had
their own historical development, their interaction has led to many
fascinating and delightful structures over time. To bring this
interaction to a higher level, there is the need to stimulate the
inventive and creative design of architectural structures and to
persuade architects and structural engineers to work together in
this process, exploiting constructive principles and aesthetic and
static values. Structures and architecture presents over 250
selected contributions and addresses all major aspects of
structures and architecture, including comprehension of complex
forms, computer and experimental methods, concrete and masonry
structures, 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
tectonic of new solutions, the use of new materials, timber
structures, the history of the relationship between architects and
structural engineers, among others. This book of abstracts and the
searchable CD-ROM with full papers contain the contributions
presented at the 1st International Conference on Structures and
Architecture (ICSA2010). This event was organized by the School of
Architecture of the University of Minho, Guimaraes, Portugal (July
2010), to promote the synergy between both disciplines. The
contributions on creative and scientific aspects in 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, product manufacturers and other experts and
professionals involved in the design and realization of
architectural, structural and infrastructural projects.
