Ways of seeing
Article Abstract:
A review of the current projects of Buro Happold Consulting Engineers illustrates the significant role which engineers play in the development of a building to fulfill the ambitions of the architect. The National Centre for Popular Music, Sheffield, England, for example, comprises four steel-clad drums each representing a different popular music theme. The drums rest on a first-floor slab which is supported by columns tapered at the lower end and topped by a mushroom-head feature. The drums have a strong profile produced by 30 curved steel beam sections connected by ribs.
