Tony Hunt's second sketchbook

Tony Hunt's Sketchbook illustrates the connection between brain and hand in conceiving structural concepts and details as possible solutions to structures in architecture. This new edition features 100 previously unpublished sketches. These sketches illustrate alternative structural concepts, ideas and details developed by Tony Hunt for over one hundred projects throughout his professional life. They relate directly to projects built and unbuilt in the field of structural engineering and were either produced at the time of relevant design meetings or as a response to a problem posed by an architect and are, therefore, a record of ideas proposed at the particular time. They are a source of design inspiration and an insight into the work of this well respected engineer. * Features more than sixty previously unpublished sketches * Visualise the design process through from start to finish * Gain insights into the work of this influential structural engineer.Tony Hunt's Sketchbook illustrates the connection between brain and hand in conceiving structural concepts and details as possible solutions to structures in architecture.

Tony Hunt's sketchbook

An engineer's sketchbook which illustrates the connection between the brain and hand in conceiving structural concepts and details as possible solutions in architecture. Each sketch relates to a particular project and is in response to a problem posed by an architect.

Anthony Hunt

Anthony Hunt and his office Anthony Hunt Associates (AHA) have, for nearly forty years, been producing structural engineering that is celebrated for its visual quality and its technical elegance. However, one of Hunt's greatest achievements is the part that he has played in redefining the relationship between architects and engineers. Hunt has challenged the traditional role of the engineer by working with architects as part of the design team from the very conception of the project throughout the entire design and construction process. This book is mainly concerned with the contribution which Tony Hunt has made to the development of British architecture, including his work with four of Britain's most prominent architects - Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, Michael Hopkins, and Nicholas Grimshaw. His interest in the visual aspects of structural design have allowed him to form fruitful collaborations with these and other leading architects and to contribute significantly to the development of the architecture of High Tech Modernism, in which exposed structures have played a major visual role. This look at Hunt's crucial input into some of the most important buildings of the late twentieth century will appeal to all interested in contemporary architecture and innovative structural design.
