Synopsis
Written by an engineer for advanced engineering students, this unique approach to structural design goes beyond a strictly objective treatment to consider intangible "real world" factors that also influence design, including political considerations, economics, the traditional organization of the industry, and the functional needs of the client. Architecture and aesthetics are considered together with styles of relationship between architect and engineer. Holgate examines the entire process of design, including creativity, and considers the relevance of all these factors to a general philosophy of structural design. Exceptionally well written and well illustrated.
