LSAA 1998 Conference Theme and Background

Lightweight structures hold a fascination for us all. To vault through space with the minimum of means; to envelope, contain, define; to stretch skins onto frames; to analyse and dissect and then to fabricate, connect, and erect; to comprehend space by giving it a geometric order. The theoretical processes hold their own rewards. For the designers and builders, few experiences match the moment of realisation, when the framework first takes up its trajectory in space, and the theory is put to the test. And for the users, the wonder of how it got there, how it works, and what a fine environment it creates.
