{"product_id":"15663-tragsysteme-structure-systems","title":"Structure Systems","description":"First published in 1997, Heino Engel's \"Tragsysteme\" (Structural Systems) has been a seminal standard work on the systematics of structural frameworks in architecture. Understandable, clear, and visually impressive, it conveys the interplay of construction and form – without any technical overload. By focusing on archetypal structural systems, the bilingual book (German and English) offers a visual grammar of load-bearing forms – ideal for education, planning, and inspiration. With over 500 excellent drawings and model photos, a systematic presentation of the most important structural systems, and numerous impulses for creative design approaches in architecture and civil engineering, the book impresses both visually and in terms of content. Proven for over 25 years. A work that bundles traditions, opens up creative freedom, and serves as a visual toolbox.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProf. Dr. Heino Engel\u003c\/strong\u003e (1925 – 2013), born in Bingen am Rhein, was a German architect, architectural theorist, and author. Engel studied architecture in Germany and undertook several longer trips to Japan and the USA from 1952 to 1964, where he intensively studied traditional Japanese architecture and developed his own architectural language. He later ran his own office for architecture and urban planning. His standard work \"Tragsysteme\" (Structural Systems) is still considered an indispensable reference work for education, design, and architectural practice.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-1876-9)","offer_id":49640306442504,"sku":"9783775718769","price":35.29,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775718769_6bd61180-b945-47e8-8918-7a4e68d43aec.jpg?v=1744142600","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.com\/products\/15663-tragsysteme-structure-systems","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
