Long written off as monotonous, today's building components are actually highly differenciated and capable of supporting and enhancing the architect's creativity. Numerous structures work with prefabricated components and modular systems are available the meet high aesthetic standards. This book provide an overview of the various systems and their possible applications, particularly in the areas of housing, office, and industrial buildings. It explains the processes and components of modular construction and documents examples of best practice. The authors offer strategies for planning and designing with prefabricated systems so that the architect can use them productively. Numerous drawings explain the principles of modular construction, while built projects forge a link between those principles and the practical activity of building.

As architectural projects have grown larger and more complex, as materials have become more specialized and advanced, as the world's cities have developed in size and density, the collaborative partnership of architects and structural engineers has gained prominence. Many of the major works of the early twenty-first century would have been difficult to build or even conceive without the contribution of firms like Ove Arup and Partners, Buro Happold, and Mutsuro Sasaki and Partners, to name just a few. Support and Resist is the first book to focus on the revolution in engineering culture in which structure shares the stage with design.
