ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER: A Study in Sibling Rivalry

ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER: A Study in Sibling Rivalry ANDREW SAINT Book Number: 70727 Product format: Hardback The book concerns the relations that necessarily have to be forged between architects and engineers when a building - especially a big and expensive one - is planned. How the two parties work together has often been debated but never before been addressed over such a broad span of history. The volume explores divergent and potentially explosive relationships from Britain and France to the United States and from the Renaissance through the Second World War to the present day, examining what happens when the two professions lock horns. Projects from the Eiffel Tower to the Pompidou Centre, and from abattoirs to Chicago sky-scrapers are re-examined, and personalities of the stature of Le Corbusier, Ove Arup, Norman Foster and Frank Lloyd Wright analysed, to determine the interactions and conflicts that arise. Kings, presidents and dictators over the ages are involved. Iconic buildings are cited. Vital questions are posed. Who gets the credit for the design? What are the professional demarcations between the architect and the engineer? What is the status of the art that goes into the construction, and how does that connect or clash with advances in technique and efficiency? It is a study that has radical implications for the compartmentalised ways in which the history of architecture and construction has normally been addressed. We are still arguing about it!
