Without structural elements implemented into the architectural field, there’d be a lot of chaos and a mass amount of money spent. In my opinion, structure must exist in order for architecture to truly be. The relationship between material, structure and design all go hand in hand and need one another in order to support the next. The proper materials are needed in order to create the foundation needed for structure for the design created. Previous to the readings, I always felt that the process for putting together the design is as important as the process of choosing materials for the structure. I’ll continue thinking of the different materials available, their abilities and more during my design processes.
