ABSTRACT

When exploring design possibilities it is important to be well-informed of the various consequences of possible design choices. Since each architectural form requires an adapted structure, creating architectural form will influence structural design, and in return a creation of structural form can importantly affect architectural design. As architectural form creation often starts in the early stages of design, an appropriate collaboration in these early stages is required for both architect and structural engineer - as designer of structural form – to be well-informed of each other’s design process.
