以结构为共识 ——建筑师与结构工程师的设计交融 - Structure as common ground : on the design entanglement between architect and engineer
Author
Abstract
Technology always played a key role in the design and construction of buildings. Conceptualising functions and constructional forms related to the needs and available resources, the fabrication and supply of construction materials and, eventually, the construction itself needed a broad set of skills. With the increasing of importance of technology in our environment, the involvement of engineers in the planning process has only become more differentiated. This article discusses the entanglement between architects and engineers and their institutional relationship. First, a historical view will be taken into the design process. Subsequently, the connection is discussed based on the central institutions of cooperation based on Switzerland highlighting the necessity for encounters for productive interdisciplinary cooperation. The last part looks at future roles of designers when structures play an even greater role for a sustainable use of resources. Architects and engineers have various forms of involvement in building but their meeting in the most permanent in consequential layer of a building, the design of its structure.
