This document discusses the relationship between structure and architecture. It notes that structure has long informed architectural design, with many architects drawing inspiration from nature's efficient structural forms. The document also examines several specific architectural examples where the structural system strongly influenced the overall form and design of the building. It references the works of architects like Gaudi, Calatrava, and Michelucci to illustrate how attentive structural design can enhance a building's architecture.
