Product Description
In its ten years of its existence, Adams Kara Taylor has become one of the most innovative engineering firms working today. Through frequent collaborations with leading architects like Zaha Hadid, Foreign Office Architects, Norman Foster, and Will Alsop, the members of AKT have become the engineers of choice for ground-breaking projects that redefine the conventional boundaries between structural engineering and architecture. Their holistic approach expands structural thinking to include technical solutions, aesthetics, and advanced research and technologies into strategies capable of adapting to both different architectures and the different design methodologies behind these projects. Organized according to a series of synthetic themes - complexity, trans-scalarity, modelling, process - that cut across these diverse projects and methods, the first monograph on AKT's work is a manual for new relations between radical engineering and design.
