The second edition of this guide to structure in architectural design is thoroughly updated and contains many new topics and examples projects. Intended to illuminate the possibilities in
integrating structural members with artful design, the volume showcases the work of architects, old and new, who have incorporated the strength of their structures into their finished
architectural vision. Including hundreds of black and white photographs, line drawings and example structural calculations, the work addresses specific structural elements such as columns and
beams, hangers and ties, cables, arches and domes, and provides detailed examples and explanations of their use. Sandaker and Eggen are professors of architecture at the Oslo School of
Architecture and Design, Norway and Cruvellier is an engineer and professor of architecture at Cornell University. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
