This is the third and final post of the miniseries Arups on Engineering. Previously we talked about the concepts of Learning Society and Integrated Design present in the various tests that make up the book on Engineering Arups. In this post we focus on her famous “Key Speech” than Ove Arup conducted in 1970. In this second post of the miniseries on Arup Engineering (here the first ) discuss the concept of integrated design architecture also known as total.
Arups on Engineering was published to celebrate the 50 anniversary of the founding of Arup by Ove Arup and 1946. This book reveals the depths of the international firm of designers across 30 essays by some of its members. Several disciplines in the book on line “total design“, posts in this miniseries will focus on the texts related to the structural design. Once again David P. Billington focuses its work around Swiss engineers, this time explicitly. The book is part of the exposure homonymous organized by the Princeton University Art Museum and 2003. Structurae is a database that contains information related to the world of structural design through the contribution of volunteers scattered around the world. Its creator Nicolas Janberg was inspired by the database of architectural projects ArchINFORM while working at Princeton University to create it.

The AE was opened in 1994 with the aim of highlighting the architecture and urbanism and to promote research in these fields. The AE offers two major exhibitions to visitors. The first… First part of a mini-series of two posts about the film Man on Wire. This documentary account of the feat performed by the circus performer Philippe Petit and 1974 when aided by a group of friends and supporters crossed the distance from the missing twin towers of the World Trade Center walking a tightrope without harness, wireless and of course without permission. The documentary has won several film awards but that's not why they appear in Frame and Form… The Library also want to highlight those sites / blogs that make a contribution to the world of structural design. One of these blogs that we regularly Frame and Form is The Happy Pontist (THP). This blog contains the observations of a bridge designer whose fascination with the topic comes up in their [...] . |
