Architecture graduate wants engineering course advice please
Dear All,
I'm a recent graduate of architecture (RIBA part II) in the UK.
I am writing as I'm intrested to study engineering but not sure what course is for me.
All i want to learn is how to make a building i design stand up and calculate all the loading (not roads, sewage, hydrualic etc). I have worked at an engineers and a timber framing company so can work it out for "square" buildings but i would like to do more intresteing structures e.g. straw bale vaults, timber grid shells. I just find structures fasinating for me "structure is to architecture as rythm is to music".
Thanks for the help, free free to ask questions if im not clear.
the finances are a whole other kettle of fish especially since labour is out
