DESIGNING BUILDING STRUCTURES BY NEY & PARTNERS.

Structural engineering and architecture are closely related to creative design. Both disciplines are diverse and different, but there is a close interaction between the two as they both shape the primary elements composing a building. Ney & Partners are convinced that reinforcing a transdisciplinary approach and emphasizing the overlap between structural engineering and architecture can significantly increase the quality of a project. Ney & Partners has been fortunate to be entrusted with this role by its clients; architects and contractors who share this conviction. They want to design buildings through a collaborative process. Based on a selection of building projects, this book aims to illustrate what is possible when an intensive dialogue between all parties involved leads to an integrated design of structures.
