Abstract
Brilliant structural engineers such as Pier Luigi Nervi and Eduoardo Torroja have convincingly argued that an understanding of the flow of forces in structures from a mathematical point of view can lead to aesthetically elegant structures from a design perspective. In an interdisciplinary studio that combined architecture students and faculty with architectural engineering students and faculty, there was a tremendous opportunity for not only linking such left brain and right brain thinking, but to also to triangulate the creative process by adding craft of construction to the design problem.
