This volume explores the intersection of structural engineering and architectural theory through the work of Cecil Balmond. By examining the relationship between complex geometry, mathematics, and non-linear design, the contributors analyze how informal systems and algorithmic processes redefine the built environment. The text serves as a critical investigation into the structural logic that informs contemporary avant-garde architecture.
