La maggior parte dell’energia incorporata può essere risparmiata nella struttura portante!
La progettazione concettuale delle strutture lavora all’interfaccia tra ingegneria strutturale, architettura e arte. Il libro cerca di rispondere alla complessa questione di cosa bisogna considerare quando si concepisce una struttura edilizia. Cosa influenza il processo di pensiero concettuale? Come interagiscono spazio e struttura? In che modo architetti e ingegneri lavorano insieme? Il libro getta così luce sul tema delle interrelazioni multidisciplinari nel design, mostrando numerose prospettive diverse. Professionisti e ricercatori rinomati nel campo dell’architettura e dell’ingegneria condividono le loro intuizioni, così come artisti e storici che oltrepassano i confini disciplinari. Inoltre, questo libro fornisce anche una prospettiva sui possibili sviluppi futuri e sugli aspetti della progettazione e costruzione sostenibile.
