★ 從達文西到當代建築，揭開「互承結構」千年不墜的設計奧祕★ 結構力學 × 幾何美感 × 空間創意，一本看懂建築中最迷人的支撐藝術★ 收錄英美日精彩案例，帶你看見理性與詩意並存的建築風景所謂 reciprocal frame，指的是由彼此支撐的梁材所組成的三維結構。看似簡單，背後卻蘊藏驚人的幾何秩序與空間美感。本書從中世紀建築草圖、達文西與Serlio的歷史設計出發，循序帶領讀者理解互承結構的形成原理、形態變化，以及在現代建築中的實際應用。書中不僅解析設計、施工與結構層面的關鍵思考，也透過英國、美國、日本等地的精彩案例，呈現這類建築如何在輕盈、優雅與穩固之間取得動人平衡。從低環境衝擊的自力建造，到日本極具美感的劇場、住宅與博物館，本書讓古老智慧重新進入當代建築語言，為建築師、結構工程師，以及所有熱愛空間設計的人，打開一扇全新的觀看之門。In structural terms reciprocal frame structures are 'three dimensional assemblies of mutually supporting beams'.
