Les objets qui nous entourent, depuis le simple nid d'une hirondelle jusqu'à la halle d'un marché couvert, ne cessent de nous interroger sur les liens étroits et parfois mystérieux qui unissent formes, forces et matières.

Résumé:
Les objets qui nous entourent, depuis le simple nid d'une hirondelle jusqu'à la halle d'un marché couvert, ne cessent de nous interroger sur les liens étroits et parfois mystérieux qui unissent formes, forces et matières. Mais la science des structures, indispensable à l'architecte qui les dessine tout comme à l'amateur qui cherche à les comprendre, peut s'avérer d'un abord intimidant. Ne requérant aucune connaissance préalable (outre les quatre opérations mathématiques de base), l'ouvrage de l'ingénieur et l'architecte Marc Leyral vise à instruire tout lecteur sur les principes simples qui sous-tendent les structures les plus complexes. Guidé par une volonté didactique affichée, l'ouvrage prend forme d'un dialogue socratique entre un jeune élève et son maître qui l'introduit pas à pas aux notions fondamentales de l'art de bâtir.

Résumé:
is the story of how a structure of unprecedented size and technology was built over the East River, connecting, for the first time, the then independent cities of Brooklyn and New York, two of the most populous cities in America. This awe-inspiring bridge-built between 1869 and 1883 during an age of technological innovation-was not only a modern engineering feat of extraordinary imagination, fortitude, and skill, it also was a towering beacon of human triumph. Author Jeffrey I. Richman describes in engaging detail how the Brooklyn Bridge was built and explains the function of each of its complex parts, from the anchorages and elegant towers to the massive cables, and the challenges each presented. Richman reminds us how profoundly modern and groundbreaking the bridge was.

Résumé:
What do structures such as the Eiffel Tower, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the concrete roofs of Pier Luigi Nervi have in common? According to this volume, all are striking examples of structural art, an exciting area distinct from either architecture or machine design. Aided by stunning photographs, David Billington discusses the technical concerns and artistic principles underpinning the well-known projects of leading structural engineer-artists, including Othmar Ammann, Félix Candela, Gustave Eiffel, Fazlur Khan, Robert Maillart, John Roebling, and many others.

This book provides a thorough description of just how varied and complex, how stressful and yet inspiring the cooperation between architect and engineer can be. It offers an insight into the complex relationship between the two professions: from the historical analysis and theoretical examination via an exploration of partial aspects such as the relationship between support structure and space or the graphic reflections by individual actors on the process of designing and building.
