Streams of forces in Wacław Zalewski’s theory as a designer’s instrument in forming constructional architecture. Basic principles, didactic methods, examples of realisations

Journal Title: Architectus - Year 2014, Vol 18, Issue 4

Abstract

The article focuses on a method of streams of forces – a fragment of Professor Wacław Zalewski’s work aimed at simultaneous creation of attractive architectural forms along with their constructional system which is shaped in accordance with given design conditions and according to conditions of a natural flow of forces and energy minimum principles. This method can appeal to young designers and help them develop an intuitive “feeling of a construction” as well as enhance possibilities to carry out an independent analysis of products of their own imagination.
