Abstract

Many people will already be familiar with the aphorism 'Form Follows Function'. Anyone can identify structures according to their function as bridges, dams, sports arenas, power stations, hospitals, flats or silos; even though each category embraces very different structural systems. However, it is interesting to consider in just what ways functional requirements determine the setting for the art of the structural engineer. In structures such as multi-storey buildings and power stations the load-bearing function is still important but the objective of enclosing space is almost equally so. In low-rise habitable buildings the enclosure of space, involving thermal and sound insulation and weatherproofing tends to dominate the load-bearing function. Planning has been described as 'making the basic decisions which define a system'. The major considerations in this process are the expression of the functional objectives of the project, the estimation of the cost of achieving these aims, and in most cases, a balancing of objectives against cost or a choice amongst several alternatives to ensure an outcome satisfactory to the originators or users of the project. Structural design can be seen as the process of disposing material in three-dimensional space so as to satisfy some defined purpose in the most efficient manner possible. To do this we must have philosophies of 'purpose' and 'efficiency'. The structural engineer should know something about functional planning for two reasons. First he should take an intelligent interest in what is going on around him during the design process, no matter how indirect its influence on his work or what degree of control he has over the resulting demands on him. Secondly, if he finds these demands difficult or expensive to satisfy he will be able to make constructive suggestions which lead to an improved structural form without too much impairing the function. Otherwise, unless the planner has some knowledge of structural design, there may ensue an aimless and lengthy process of counter-proposal and rejection. Thus feelings of security and insecurity are amongst the principal emotional responses to structure. In Scott's words, if we observe a building which appears to be on the verge of collapse, it creates a sense of unease in us because 'we have transcribed ourselves in terms of architecture'. The Shorter Oxford Dictionary defines 'AESTHETICS' as 'the science of the conditions of sensuous perception' or 'the philosophy of taste, or of the perception of the beautiful'. 'AESTHETICS' is commonly taken to refer only to visual perception and many books on the appreciation of architecture concentrate on the rules of formal composition which architecture shares with painting and sculpture. In keeping with this bias, a part of the present article will review this aspect of AESTHETICS. In another part of this article the factors which influence the form and nature of a structure such as being aesthetically pleasing, appropriating to the efficient use of the mechanical properties and methods of fabrication of the chosen material, providing protection against cold, heat, wind, rain and snow, are described briefly. This article briefly analysis the influence of STRUCTURAL PLANNING on ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN.
