Description
"Structures are an essential element of the building process, yet one of the most difficult concepts for architects to grasp. While structural engineers do the detailed consulting work for a project, architects should have enough knowledge of structural theory and analysis to design a building." "Building Structures Illustrated: Patterns, Systems, and Design takes a new approach to structural design, showing how structural systems of a building - such as an integrated assembly of elements with pattern, proportions, and scale - are related to the fundamental aspects of architectural design." "With thorough coverage of formal and spatial composition, program fit, coordination with other building systems, code compliance, and others, Building Structures Illustrated: Patterns, Systems, and Design enables students and professionals to make informed decisions for architectural design and is illustrated throughout with Francis D.K. Ching's signature line drawings to present the essential presence of structural systems in buildings."--Jacket.
