Structure as an sculpture





One of the best and easiest things to make a good preliminary project is to consider how to design the structure. It becomes functional interesting and without much effort you can combine the fundamental characteristics of architecture.

Designing a structure has to be a way to get a sort of a sculpture in order to make it accessible to people.

Structure with it combines solid and voids, texture, knots, transparency, illumination and repetition. Essential characteristics to consider.
Structures are a very big problem when it comes to building or designing because there are other things to consider like the main installations and building systems, a well manage structure could let all and every one of installations so they could be visible, playing with the colours of the electrical cable or contrasting the pipes of water from the walls.

Structure in a building is what makes the building, in the structures are all the forces of static fighting together, structure should be visible in most of the projects that means that the whole building is showing itself how it is and utility installations have to be design to make a well manage structural project.
