nice book

try to be open minded



Space Grid Structures









Preface

This book has been long in gestation. The original stimulus

for it came about seven years ago out of my teaching

about space structures to student architects, reinforced

by my earlier doctoral research into space grid structures.

When asked by students to suggest an appropriate

text where they might encounter information about the

geometry, design parameters, detailing and construction

of space grids, I found the choice was rather limited

(although there seemed to be many more books describing

the structural behaviour and analysis of such structures).

At that time a book that I consistently recommended

was Space Grid Structures by John Borrego,

which was published in 1968 by MIT Press (and, coincidentally,

has the same title as this present volume).

However, thirty years have passed since its publication

and the technology of space grids has developed considerably

over this period. Therefore, from the outset my

intention has been to create a text of similar utility for

architects, engineers and builders who wish to understand

the basics of space grid design and construction in the late 1990s.
