TITLE OF PAPERHow structures can contribute to Architecture from Hard to Soft Structures

is fabric without pre-

TITLE OF PAPERArchitects & Engineers co-operation towards Sustainable Constructions

In principle the structural engineer is aware that the beauty is an added value of a structure which can not be set aside but he knows also that it can be found close to its rationality; whatever is the form, even if free, a rational simplification of it with very small adjustments is often possible.
