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

The book is intended for architects and engineers, students and architecture enthusiasts alike. It is both accessible to the interested lay reader and enriching for those who daily engage professionally with structure and architecture. Through reflective and technical narratives of nineteen projects, combined with an illustrated lexicon, it makes structural design accessible to a broad readership.
