Structures: Or Why Things Don’t Fall Down
Structures unveils the hidden poetry of the physical world, where the strength and grace of bridges, buildings, and bones converge in an elegant dance of forces. Through lucid explanation and vivid metaphor, this book transforms the cold calculations of engineering into a vibrant exploration of resilience and balance. What invisible laws govern the tension between fragility and strength, order and chaos, in both man-made marvels and nature’s design? Challenging the reader to see beyond the surface, Structures invites a profound reflection on how the architecture of matter shapes the very fabric of existence.
