Schlaich Bergermann und Partner. Interdisciplinary Construction Between Continuity and Innovation

Book excerpt: Behind every extraordinary building, there is an excellent architect - and a no less brilliant structural engineer. In the perception of the public and in the relevant publications, however, it is still primarily the architect who gets the credit for being the author of a design, the creator of a spectacular piece of the built environment. The DETAIL engineering series strives to remedy that by focusing deliberate attention on the engineers involved in the business of building. This volume profiles "Schlaich Bergermann und Partner" which for more than 30 years has been active internationally in the most diverse fields, from bridge engineering to developing large solar power plants.
