Synopsis
Back in print--the standard work on Heino Engel's structure systems. The hundreds of drawings and photographs reproduced in this hardback volume offer almost endless variations on the many structural systems that can keep buildings together: within a few pages of one another, tents, domes and cubes are shown supported by poles, cables, ribs, rafters and beams. Engel's presentation and explanation of this highly complex material differs fundamentally from others' work on the subject in that he focuses entirely upon the functions and design effects of these mechanisms, without regard for technical details: More than an engineering text, this is a catalogue of ideas and forms for architects and dreamers, a David Macaulay book for adults. Structure Systems skips over more commonly treated special designs and completed buildings for typical, representative and surprising shapes. As a reference work or daydream material, it is an indispensable repertoire of forms.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The definitive work on structural systems - clear, visual, timeless Structure Systems by Heino Engel has been regarded as a definitive standard work on the typology of structural systems in architecture since its first publication in 1997. Clear, accessible, and visually striking, it illustrates the interplay between structure and form-without technical overload. Focusing on archetypal structural systems, this bilingual edition (German and English) offers a visual grammar of structural forms, making it ideal for education, design, and inspiration. With over 500 outstanding drawings and model photographs, a systematic presentation of the most important structural types, and numerous impulses for creative design approaches in architecture and engineering, the book convinces both visually and conceptually. Proven for over 25 years. A work that unites tradition, opens up creative freedom, and serves as a visual toolbox. Back in print—the standard work on Heino Engel's structure systems. The hundreds of drawings and photographs reproduced in this hardback volume offer almost endless variations on the many structural systems that can keep buildings together: within a few pages of one another, tents, domes and cubes are shown supported by poles, cables, ribs, rafters and beams. Heino Engel's presentation and explanation of this highly complex material differs fundamentally from others' work on the subject in that he focuses entirely upon the functions and design effects of these mechanisms, without regard for technical details: More than an engineering text, this is a catalogue of ideas and forms for architects and dreamers, a David Macaulay book for adults. Structure Systems skips over more commonly treated special designs and completed buildings for typical, representative and surprising shapes. As a reference work or daydream material, it is an indispensable repertoire of forms. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
