The Structural Basis of Architecture

“These two very different choices of structural system arrangements, then can be seen to each have their place in contemporary Tokyo. Each system relates in its own way to contrasting architectural design intentions that address visual appearances, spatial experiences, site conditions, and programmatic functions, while simultaneously adding new “life” to their urban environment. All things considered, these are no small tasks that the structural systems are being asked to perform — certainly much more than “just” carrying loads.”
—Mark Cruvellier
