Free Form Structural Design by Martijn Veltkamp Pdf
Annotation. "Ever since architects dreamt of freely formed buildings, engineers have experienced difficulties in making these buildings structurally viable. The complexity lies in the relatively low-tech approach of the building industry seeking to exploit proven technologies prior to introducing new ones, pared with an everlasting wish to minimize cost, in an environment where simple planar frames have long been dominant. This book presents principles and solutions."--Jacket
