| Abstract: |
Structural engineers are in a unique position to influence creativity in design. Using modern technology and computational analysis we are able to work efficiently with complex geometry and performance-based structural analysis. Good design should be a synergy of creative aesthetic forms and engineering judgement and experience, and the design methods we are now able to harness can help to inspire structural engineers to be a key part of a collaborative architectural design process. |
