Description
The Structures Notebook by Anthony Hunt explores how everything around us has a structure that is shaped by natural forces and reacts to them. This book explains complex concepts in simple terms, using hand-drawn sketches to illustrate key ideas. Originally written as a teaching aid for students with little knowledge of physics or structural behaviour, the Structures Notebook has been expanded into a comprehensive book while retaining its accessible approach. The book is divided into seven main sections, each accompanied by detailed diagrams that help to clarify the text's content. The author believes that understanding structural behaviour can be achieved through visual and descriptive means, rather than relying on complex mathematical calculations. This approach makes the book an ideal resource for those interested in design who want to combine art and science to achieve the best solutions.
