Tendence současné architektury ve strukturálním pojetí díla

Architecture is evolving like any other industry, and because architectural work is the synthesis of science and art, the key role in its development is played by new technologies, processes and materials as well as the contemporary concept of space, the ideals of beauty and the spirit of the times. Progressive architectural works often depend only on the architect’s sense of the tangible and intangible parts of the design and ability to harmonize them. When analyzing the structure and architectural space of these structures, it is possible to trace certain directions, which then develop further while the basic principle remains preserved. This paper is concerned with “gridshell” structures whose support systems are wood-based. From the results we can deduce some basic features characteristic of the material, and then predict future development and design new spatial and structural forms
