教科書・参考書等
This term our seminar will make use of:
Mario Salvadori
The Strength of Architecture: Why Buildings Stand Up
Norton, New York and London, 1980 (reissued 2002)
Copies are available for purchase at the CO-OP (Seikyo): in the prefab hut erected at the corner of the main building, Hon-kan, in O-okayama.
This text was recommended to me by one of the doctoral students in Takeuchi Kenkyushitsu. It was written, its author says, expressly for “those who love beautiful buildings and wonder how they stand up.” The book provides a history of world architecture in structural terms, which although a generation old, is well written and well illustrated by drawings and diagrams. The author was Professor of Engineering and Professor of Architecture at Columbia University in the City of New York.

担当教員の一言
Since most of you are generally aware of the structural principles that form the backbone of this study, emphasis will be instead on connecting these applications with particular historical works of architecture. No mathematics is required.
