For centuries, structures and infrastructure have provided more than functionality; they can influence, inspire and delight. This text describes how structural form has evolved.

The Essential Knowledge Series is a core resource (primarily for structural engineering students but a useful refresher for more senior engineers) covering fundamental topics from structural materials to computer analysis. Student Members and members of the Institution's Academic Community can download the series for free at: www.istructe.org/essential-knowledge
