Interaction of Loads and Geometry
Pioneers such as Pier Luigi Nervi have taught us how to design structural systems following load paths.

Until today, even if we have the most effective methods available, we rely on the studies of our precedents. Drawing a load path on a piece of paper haw always been an efficient way for the design of structural systems. Relying on our precedents and following their paths will always be a guide for the design and construction of efficient and aesthetic buildings.
