Abstract

Abstract : Structure should be not just a technical issue, but integral to architectural expression. As architectYichun Liu argues here, the modern separation of architecture from structural engineering in both education and professional practice is impoverishing the built environment. The office that he co‐founded, Atelier Deshaus, has evolved a new model of design that involves close collaboration with engineers from the outset, to generate works that respond richly to their physical and cultural context. Four projects in Shanghai, where the firm is based, illustrate how it works.
