The Art of Structure explores historically radical methods employed by engineers to build bridges and concrete structures with great economy and elegance. Presented together are two distinct exhibitions, The Art of Structural Design: A Swiss Legacy and Félix Candela: Engineer, Builder, Structural Artist, including 20 stunning models complemented by diagrams, notebooks, and photographs. Both exhibitions introduce visitors to built works that enrich the public life of modern industrial, urbanized society.
The exhibition is organized for Carnegie Museum of Art by Raymund Ryan, curator of architecture.
