Complex know-how
Newer buildings often have complex geometries. They require ample structural implementation of the architectural design, which is often costlier than it should be. The right expertise is needed in order to choose a construction approach that is safe yet economical and fully adequate to the design demands.
In a continuation of Modern Construction Case Studies, which focused on complex, preliminary design, Modern Structural Design presents illustrative case studies of how complex, innovative construction systems have been successfully implemented. They are presented with the aid of texts, drawings, and 3D renderings.

Komplexes Know-how
Neuere Gebäude weisen oft komplexe Geometrien auf. Sie erfordern eine adäquate konstruktive Umsetzung, die oft kostspieliger ist, als sie sein müsste. Um eine sichere und dennoch wirtschaftliche und gestalterisch adäquate Baukonstruktion zu wählen, ist Know-how nötig.
In Fortführung zu dem Band Modern Construction Case Studies, der sich auf die komplexe, vorbereitende Planung konzentriert, bietet Modern Structural Design anschauliche Fallstudien aus der Praxis zur richtigen Umsetzung komplexer, innovativer Konstruktionssysteme.
Veranschaulicht werden diese Beispiele anhand von erklärenden Texten, Zeichnungen und 3-D-Darstellungen.
