Lecture

The Art of Structures: Introduction to Functioning

Description

This lecture introduces the functioning of structures in architecture, covering the engineer and architect's roles, the course's content, prerequisites, and necessary materials. It explores the elements constituting the framework of a construction, the concept of a load-bearing structure, and the analysis, projection, and understanding of forces, resistance, deformations, rigidity, and sizing. The course delves into equilibrium in the plan, form, and rigidity of cables, cable networks, membranes, stability, arches, vaults, domes, shells, tension, compression, and arches-and-cables systems. It also includes exercises with precise corrections and a grading system based on performance.
