Designing Building Structures by Ney & Partners

Structural engineering and architecture are closely related to creative design. Both disciplines are diverse and different but there is a close interaction between the two as they both shape the primary elements composing a building. We are convinced that reinforcing a transdisciplinary approach and emphasizing the overlap between structu­ral engineering and architecture can significantly increase the quality of a project. We have been fortunate to be entrusted with this role by our clients, architects and contractors who share our belief that buildings should only be designed through a collaborative process. Based on a selection of building projects, this book aims to illustrate what is possible when an intensive dialogue between all the parties involved leads to an integrated design of building structures.
