...an interesting view on structural engineering profession..its present and future...presented through topics rarely and elaborated in engineering books...it gives the possibility to meditate and think about the profession more broadly, and its connection to architecture and art..

It is really an eye -opening book..A totally different perspective on structural engineering..The author, stuctural engineer himself captured all concerns regarding structural engineering profession in this century making at the same time comparision with golden days of engineering and its legends like Maillart, Nervi, Candela etc...Book treat topics like the question of project authorship between architrcts and structuctural engineers, importance of intuitive engineering, role and impact of structural software, about the nonexactness of 'excat' structural analysis, ..perfectly elaborated chapter on structural architecture vs structural art and many other topics which structural engineers will find releaving and many of them read for the first time

An excellent and unique view on structural engineering craft and many topics that concern structural engineers all over the world..Engineering authorship, intuitive structural engineering..about tremendous impact of structural software on structural engineering thinking, ..about non-exactness of structural engineering analysis and much more...an eye opening book, which should be read by anyone related to structural engineering

It is a thought provoking book regarding various topic of structural engineering.
Very thoughtful and not for those who has their head in engineering formulas and rules.
It is a book for those engineers who preferer to meditate about profession and who sees engineering not only as simply engineering but much more.
The author, Mentor Llunji, a structural engineer himself, is also the author of the book titled: Seismic Architecture, a very comprehensive book on conceptual seismic design.
I would strongly recommend this book to all practicing structural engineers, young or experienced, who are witnessing coming changes in our profession and who are looking the for the brighter future and possible solutions to current situation of this beautiful profession.
