This major survey of structural design is a useful guide to the fundamentals of establishing the structural concept for a building and dealing with structural issues.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing diagrams, models, computer simulations, case studies, and exercises, \u003ci\u003eArchitectural Structures\u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive narrative that makes selecting and giving shape to structures and structural elements understandable. In addition to developing the necessary vocabulary to effectively work with structural engineers, it helps readers gain a common- sense understanding of principles and issues, the complexities of the design process, and useful analytic methods.
