| Abstract: |
Four construction projects represent the close collaboration of structural engineers and partners, in particular the architect, which was decisive in achieving a successful design. The engineer’s creative contribution, technical expertise and understanding of all aspects of the project (architecture, urban/landscape planning, sustainability, and functionality), led to a structural design with real added value. This paper also demonstrates the specific Swiss design process in which the engineer is involved in all project phases. These four examples emphasize the relevance of structural engineering in the design process and in the achievement of well-thought-out constructions. The recognition of engineers in our society starts with confidence in their skills, skills that are key to the quality constructions they build. |
