構造は技術的な面を担っています。建物の骨組と材料を決定すること。それをどうやって組み立て、施工するか。工事の安全や期限に見通しをつけること。こうした現実的な作業が構造の仕事です。建物を実現するには構造家の協力が不可欠です。建物のボディーをつくるのが構造家、魂を入れるのが建築家。こんなふうに考えると分かり易いかも知れません。
structure
Thinking of structure will lead key parts which can define essence of the building to engineering solutions. Vitruvius's "firmitas, utilitas and venustas" is the sharpest question toward the structural consideration. It is necessary to pay attentions to both the whole and the details of the building when structure goes on check. An outline of structural design might be that giving an idea about framework and its materials, then checking members of framework to fix their sizes. And also researching condition of the ground and underground then studying possible model to adjust basement body. Anyway structure will hit the most practical factor indeed.
