## Description

This monograph presents 39 complex structures by the Princeton University professor and structural engineer Guy Nordenson. The body of work, developed with architects and artists including Raimund Abraham, Henry N. Cobb, Steven Holl, Michael Maltzan, Richard Meier, SANAA, and many others, reveals Nordenson’s unique contributions to a progressive collaborative design process as both engineer and designer. The structures in this volume span twenty-eight years, from his early work with Paul Weidlinger, to his formation of the New York office of Ove Arup & Partners, through the first 13 years since the 1998 establishment of his current independent practice, Guy Nordenson and Associates.The volume is organized around three thematic sections: Engineering Ephemera, Simply Supported, and Building History. It includes Nordenson’s essays on these themes, as well as his individual project descriptions chronicling the vision and challenges of each. Barry Bergdoll, architectural historian, curator, and critic, provides an introduction.

Review: This book is a beautiful essay on structural engineering - An interdisciplinary approach to architecture and engineering...This book is a beautiful essay on structural engineering. The author treats structural design not only as a tool for providing structural integrity but as a tool for enriching architectural design as well. I highly recommend this book to structural engineers as a source book for developing their own original ideas and approaches to contemporary structural design.
Review: An Architect's Delight. - Beautiful drawings and photographs. A handsome book that bridges architecture and structural engineering.
