Modern Structural Design: Constructing Complex Forms

By Andrew Watts

Book Overview

Complex know-how

Newer buildings often have complex geometries.
They require ample structural implementation of the architectural
design, which is often costlier than it should be. The right expertise
is needed in order to choose a construction approach that is safe yet
economical and fully adequate to the design demands.

In a continuation of Modern Construction: Case Studies, which focused on complex, preliminary design, Modern Structural Design
presents illustrative case studies of how complex, innovative
construction systems have been successfully implemented. They are
presented with the aid of texts, drawings, and 3D renderings.

Detailed studies of building projects involving complex geometries Description of 18 buildings that have been completed or are under construction Presented in texts, drawings, and 3D renderings
