Steelwork offers the opportunity for architectural expression; as well as being structurally versatile and adaptable material. Good detailing is vital because it affects structural performance; costs; buildability and; perhaps most importantly; appearance. Whilst the choice of the structural form is often the province of the structural engineer; architects should have a broad appreciation of the factors leading to the selection of the structure and its details. Traditionally; most detailing of connections is the responsibility of the steelwork fabricator; but for exposed steelwork; detailing is of much more interest to the architect; as it impacts on the aesthetics of the structure. In this respect it is important that designers appreciate the common fabrication and erection techniques which may exert a strong influence on the method and approach to the detailing of modern steelwork in buildings. Architectural Design in Steel is a design guide to the detailing of exposed steelwork in buildings. It is a guide which offers technical guidance and general principles; as well as examples of best practice. It covers all aspects from manufacture to detailing; specification of finishes and fabrication; providing architects; as well as engineers; with essential information to inform the design.
