The Structural Engineer, Volume 65, Issue 3, 1987
I am sorry this letter is rather long but I am not sure that, as a mere working engineer, I have the time or skill to write a short one. As a modern engineer I do of course have the ability to write a long letter when a short one would be preferable, and perhaps this is one of the problems with our profession! G.J. Austen
Two Houses of Worship recently constructed for the Baha’i Faith in Western Samoa and India are examples of integration of structure and architecture. A.R. Flint, D.I. Cooper and S. Naharoy
We are all aware of the increase in ‘non-traditional’ forms of contract which have been introduced into the construction industry over the past 2 decades. The reasons for them initially related to the demand for rapid construction techniques to satisfy the development ‘boom’, of the 1960s. The subsequently proven unsatisfactory performance of many of the buildings constructed at that time diminished not only the reputation of the parties concerned in a particular failure, but also that of the industry as a whole.
