Course Description

• synthesis in structural design

– form and function

– safety

• structure is a device for channeling

loads that result from the use and/or

presence of the building to the ground

– span a roof

– hold up a floor

– cross a river

– suspend a canopy

Structure Definition

• alternatively:

– “a physical entity having a unitary character that can be conceived of as an organization of positioned constituent elements in space in which the character of the whole dominates the interrelationship of the parts”
