In the realm of 3D form creation, the engineer, architect and sculptor each wield their unique skills and knowledge, drawing inspiration from historical precedents. However, it is within the realm of structural engineering that the greatest constraints and the least unbridled freedoms lie. The structural engineer shoulders the weight of codes and regulations, necessarily ensuring life safety and compliance. Yet, it is precisely within these constraints that the engineer’s ability to create groundbreaking designs emerges. Polytechnic training, coupled with aesthetic sensitivity, is the domain of the new structural engineer of the 21st century.
