Review: 'As the role of computational tools in structural design continues to grow, the form-finding techniques detailed here are more relevant than ever. Bringing together experts in the field, I expect Shell Structures for Architecture will be a valuable inspiration and reference for architecture and engineering students and professionals seeking a deeper understanding, which is essential to make full use of such tools and techniques.' Daniel Piker, Robert McNeel & Associates 'This book should be in the library of designers of shells and grid shells.' Bill Baker, Partner at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP 'In their integration of technical and creative disciplines, shell structures are a fascinating typology - this is a valuable source book for architects and engineers alike.' Xavier De Kestelier, Partner, Foster + Partners 'Shell Structures for Architecture expands architectural possibilities; a great influence on the thinking of contemporary architects.'
