Tony Hunt's Second Sketchbook

Tony Hunt's Sketchbook illustrates the connection between brain and hand in conceiving structural concepts and details as possible solutions to structures in architecture. This new edition features 100 previously unpublished sketches.

These sketches illustrate alternative structural concepts, ideas and details developed by Tony Hunt for over one hundred projects throughout his professional life. They relate directly to projects built and unbuilt in the field of structural engineering and were either produced at the time of relevant design meetings or as a response to a problem posed by an architect and are, therefore, a record of ideas proposed at the particular time. They are a source of design inspiration and an insight into the work of this well respected engineer.

• Features more than sixty previously unpublished sketches
• Visualise the design process through from start to finish
• Gain insights into the work of this influential structural engineer

Audience: Architects, structural engineers and designers, professional and student.

Tony Hunt's Second Sketchbook illustrates the connection between brain and hand in conceiving structural concepts and details as possible solutions to structures in architecture.

The drawings in this sketchbook illustrate alternative structural concepts, ideas and details developed by Tony Hunt for over one hundred projects throughout his professional life. They relate directly to projects built and unbuilt in the field of structural engineering. Produced either at the time of relevant design meetings, or as a response to a problem posed by an architect, they are a record of ideas proposed at the particular time.

This book is unique because it presents concepts and ideas in real form, using real projects, overcoming real problems and offering real solutions.

Tony Hunt has a very wide experience in building structures of all types and in all materials but his speciality is primarily in sophisticated steelwork. He is first and foremost a designer, believes in offering a structural philosophy to parallel architects visions, and is actively involved in the design development of projects. Recent projects include: New Headquarters for Lloyds Register of Shipping, London. NAtional Botanic Garden of Wales. The Eden Project, Cormwall. Kelvin Bridge, Glasgow.
