Seeing is Remembering

tecture bachelor and master’s pro-grams is to provide students with practical and technical preparation in the mechanical characterization of materials and structures: future ar-chitects and civil engineers should be able to recognize and describe differ-ent construction materials and their behavior when used for building par-ticular types of structures in relation with stability and safety. Effective teaching for this topic re-quires not only theory—physical laws that describe the behavior of struc-tures and materials (e.g., steel or con
