Opis

The book includes 78 built case studies in 22 countries on 5 continents to illustrate various systems and their load carrying mechanisms at different scales.

Recenzje

Cantilever Architecture is a fascinating, engaging survey for anyone interested in one of the basic expressions of dynamic form – defying forces of nature with dramatic reach and seeming weightlessness.  Using historic and contemporary examples, Kyoung Moon ably illustrates how the integration of rational engineering principles support design aspirations for anything from a super tall building to a familiar chair.
