Jun Sato graduated from the Faculty of Engineering at Tokyo University’s architecture department and established Jun Sato Structural Engineers in 2000. Awards and recognition soon followed, including the Japan Structural Engineer Award in 2009. Neat, attractive and useful, this book reveals the research behind Sato’s engineering analysis. Sections on Materials, Experiments, Form and The Site culminate in a presentation of structural codes and Analysis Software. Along the way, the texts, architectural projects and colour photography capture Sato’s working methods, including compelling typological spreads on historic iron structures and Sato’s award-winning innovations, the Cell Brick and Crystal Brick.
