Description: "Between 1998 and 2005, the Structural Engineers Association of New York and The Museum of Modern Art's Department of Architecture and Design and the School of Architecture at both Princeton University and MIT, co-sponsored a lecture in honor of the renowned Spanish and Mexican structural engineer Felix Candela, who led the early exploration of concrete shell structures. These lectures, given by some of Candela's most eminent and creative colleagues and successors - structural engineers working worldwide on everything from high-rise office-building to bridges to entertainment centers to Olympic stadiums. This book documents those talks and in so doing opens the world of structural engineering to a wider audience. This book includes more than 200 color images."--Jacket.
