Summary

In this well-illustrated book, Bjorn Sandaker has set out to provide the reader with a better understanding of the relationship between technology and architecture. The technology of load-bearing structures is a key contributor to architecture. A major aspect of the book is its coverage of structure and aesthetics. As an experienced teacher and writer, Sandaker offers a well-founded aesthetic theory to support the understanding and evaluation of a structure's form and design.
