| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the structural system used in modern architecture and the form and spatial composition of the buildings. The principle for the stabilization of structures is closely related to the architectural form. That is, in order to stabilize a building, a special type of structural system is required and consequently shows up with consistent characteristics in the architectural form. Structural systems of modern architecture can be classified into skeletal structure, trusses structure, and space structure according to the structural characteristics. Space structure can be divided into compressible space structure and tensile space structure. Spatial building has formal properties according to the stabilization method of vertical load support elements. Master column, buttress and catenary cable enable the fluent flow of load by combining with mechanical efficiency and are able to deal with the generated stress efficiently. The architectural cases for each type of structure are classified into the form-construction type and the plane-composition type in the aspect of architectural effect. |
