Structural designing of a workshop

Structural design and space making have always been like two lines of a railway track; parallel yet never intersecting. One cannot exist without the other. The growing gap between the two in today’s structural as well as architectural practices is what we addressed in this course with the help of masonry systems. Drawing inspiration from master buildings which have successfully woven together the matrix between space and structures in masonry, we will understand what one means by the ‘LANGUAGE of a structure’ and its significance in not only structural design but also in space making.
