Teaching Architecture and Engineering Students Jointly at Sheffield University
Recently, the departments of Civil and Structural Engineering and Architecture at the University of Sheffield, UK, have introduced modules where architecture students undertake joint project work with structural engineering students. The experience shows that these modules have been successful and proved useful for the students from both departments. Architecture students gain a better understanding of structural efficiency and Engineering students develop a better appreciation of aesthetics and the importance of making the structural system an integral part of the architectural expression. This applies especially to the use of advanced structural systems where the three dimensional geometry of the system can contribute considerably to the quality of the project as a whole.
