Talking Structures. Mouton and the Under-Order in Architecture

What is remarkable about the work of Mouton is that their structural design does not originate from the engineer’s discipline as such, but rather from the grammar of the project. That grammar becomes the framework for the dialogue between architect and engineer that develops and enriches the design.
Bernard Wittevrongel

A book about structural concepts that, as an underlying layer in the design, organise, reinforce, materialise and ensure the sustainability of the architectural idea. This publication demonstrates how this can be designed through interaction and collaboration between engineer and architect.
