ABSTRACT

Structure and Shape, Function and Form, Technology and Art, Ratio and Emotion, these two sides of a coin fuse when Engineers and Architects work well together. If this fusion works there is a positive step towards quality building, a contribution to the culture of building.

By presenting the work of our office, schlaich bergermann partner and some of our projects, the intent is made to show how – by identifying and following certain engineering principles and in a slow but conscious process of understanding our engineering past as well as by paying tribute to great engineers as a “hommage” – we try to achieve quality to our structures and contribute to the culture of building.
