In order to understand how to design and build with steel from the perspective of its architectural applications, hundreds of steel structures have been observed, analyzed and appraised for this book. The resulting account is informed by many years of experience in teaching and providing continuing education. It opens up an innovative approach to the reality of working with steel: a new look both at the state of tried-and-tested techniques, and at potentials emerging in advanced projects that transcend national borders and limits imposed by standards. “Understanding Steel Design” treats the classic themes, problems, and solutions of materials and construction methods, sup- porting structure and shell, elements and German connections, fire prevention and sustainabil- ity, and so on. Particular attention is paid to the interplay with other materials such as glass and wood, to requirements for Archi- tecturally Exposed Steel Structures, and to innovative systems for load-bearing struc- tures (diagrids).
