"Ching and his co-authors show how structural systems of a building - as an integrated assembly of elements with pattern, proportions, and scale - are related to the esential aspects of architectural design; formal and spatial composition…They bring together many aspects of architectural design as an integrated reference." (MCEER Information Service, October 2009)
