Space Structures at Princeton University

Katzman, Gayle M. / Billington, David P.

Space structures at Princeton University are taught to undergraduate engineering, architecture and liberal arts students in a course called Structures and the Urban Environment. The course takes numerical, historical and aesthetic approaches to studying structures. It examines the relationship between form and forces through examples of modern structures like thin shell concrete roofs and space frames. Because the course is so popular, several teaching assistants help the lecturer. Many of these graduate students are also taking the course for the first time, thus acting as student and teacher, as well as researcher because graduate projects and theses become reference material for the course.
