With the development of building technology, we have built a number of amazing buildings that are inseparable from the collaboration of architects and structural engineers. So, what is the relationship between architectural design and structural design in the process of building a building?

To put it simply, architectural design is mainly to solve functional, aesthetic, and applicable problems. It is in the forefront and dominant position, usually completed by architects. The building structure is to solve the sturdy problem. The internal force analysis is carried out according to the construction drawing, the strength and rigidity of each section are checked, and specific engineering practices are determined.

A good building is the result of a close cooperation between the building and the structural design. In the process of architectural design, the architect should master a certain structural aspect, and can properly combine with the structural design and coordinate with each other. In the same way, structural engineers must also understand the intent of architectural design, learn some architectural art, improve artistic accomplishment, be brave in innovation, and perfect the architectural design with the principle of structural design to design a high level of architectural engineering. In the process of actual operation, it is important to distinguish the focus of specific cooperation, sometimes aesthetics and artistic requirements are important, and sometimes it is important to use functions and production processes. Only by combining the beautiful architectural style, the perfect use function and the structural design can we design a building that is truly satisfactory.
