Structural Art II: Trusses

Description

This lecture covers the transition from arch-and-cable structures to trusses, explaining the resolution of forces and the components of a truss. It also discusses the Centre Beaubourg in Paris as a case study and concludes with the stability and elements of structures derived from arch-and-cable designs.
