Reviews
Structure for Architects - A Case Study in Steel, Wood, and Reinforced Concrete Design is a descriptive and well organized text that outlines the basics of structural design. I was pleasantly surprised by the impact of the illustrations and their ability to reinforce the content of each chapter. The case studies show the application of theory and serve as a guide for general design principles. It is a fantastic tool for introducing architects to the world of structural design. Structural Engineer at Murray Engineering PC Engineering Professor at New York Institute of Technology The authors have succeeded in presenting an excellent resource for understanding the fundamental principles of structural engineering that serves to benefit both practicing architects and architectural students as well as providing a refresher for more experienced engineers. As technological advancements have moved our profession to an increased reliance on computerized solutions to complex structural problems, it is important to maintain touch with basic engineering concepts as applied to the design of steel, wood, and reinforced concrete framing. This reference book provides a firm platform for achievement of that result. Thomas J. Michon, P.E. Structural Engineer This work represents an impressive, well thought-out, concise and simplified approach to structural design. The break-out of simplified load diagrams, appropriate formulae, their application, and material studies, allow for ease or understanding and retention. This book should be owned by every architectural student, intern and practicing architect. Wendell C. Edwards, RA, PhD, NCARB Associate Professor, New York City college of Technology The case studies illustrate a workflow and parametric thinking that integrates design, structure and materials. It is a valuable tool for Architects to analyse and solve problems methodically. Sanjive Vaidya Chair of the Department of Architectural Technology Structures for Architects offers a comprehensive overview on the principles of design for three major structural materials: steel, wood and reinforced concrete. The content is presented in a clear, intuitive and visual manner, and includes valuable case studies that help illustrate and enhance the concepts. An excellent reference and teaching tool for students of architecture. Ivan Markov Ph.D. Structural Engineer Spitzer School of Architecture

The endeavor has been informed by years of classroom experience, a passion for the subject, and an intuitive understanding of the power of visual representations to convey structural principles. The variety and clarity of the many illustrations -- photographs, diagrams, rendered axonometrics, and especially the beautiful and tactile hand sketching -- is a great strength of the book.
