That was especially true with 10 case studies of successful collaborations they highlighted in their book, Collaborations in Architecture and Engineering." –Devinee Fitzgerald, Line/Shape/Space. "Olsen and Sinéad Mac Namaraan associate structural-engineering professor who is jointly appointed at Syracuse University’s School of Architecture and Department of Civil Engineeringhave seen synergy among architects and engineers
It provides an overview and foundation for interdisciplinary collaboration so that you can create innovative proposals for optimization, performance, and aesthetic goals. The authors, an architect and an engineer, share guidelines learned from their experiences and observations on how to insure productive communication, engage in interdisciplinary discussions, and establish common goals and values. Throughout the book are many case study examples of architect and engineer collaborations––such as those between SANAA and Mutsuro Sasaki, Foster + Partners and Buro Happold, Steven Holl and Guy Nordenson, and SHoP Architects and ARUP. Collaborations in Architecture and Engineering focuses on team-building and problem-solving between architects and engineers to prepare you for working together in practice. It also shows you how to solve real-world problems and how to engage creatively with technological challenges so that you can be a productive member of any team. The book also includes a discussion about integrated project delivery (IPD) contracts and administration, so you'll be ready for better integration.
Collaboration M This well written book provides an overview of interdisciplinary collaboration between architects and structural engineersIt mainly focuses on relationship and problem solving between two professionsRecognizing the importance and complexity of interdisciplinary collaboration,this text addresses the challenges and rewards of cross-discplinary partnership and provides real-world case studies.Next edition should be better designed.Graphical and schematic presentation of 'clever' structural solutions should be the cornerstone of analysed case studies, which is not the case.Quality of photographs is not the best and it sho. "Accessible for beginning designers and worthwhile for seasoned practitioners" according to Design Reader. Clear prose and a solid format make this book accessible to beginning design students while the high-profile stellar examples will make it a worthwhile read for seasoned practitioners. This is one of a handful of books that really gives an in-depth look at the process behind architectural production, specifically the importance of architect-engineer relationships in collaboratively creating architectural exemplars.The even-handed treatment of both the engineers and the architects is unique and will make it a go-to resource for training students.. design food said Great book- just what I was looking for. Great book- just what I was looking for. An excellent overview of collaborative practice from the standpoint of architecture and engineering, with beautiful graphics and concise, coherent prose. I was impressed by the number of top-tier firms highlighted in the case studies presented throughout the book.
