ReviewsCantilever Architecture is a fascinating, engaging survey for anyone interested in one of the basic expressions of dynamic form ¿ defying forces of nature with dramatic reach and seeming weightlessness. Using historic and contemporary examples, Kyoung Moon ably illustrates how the integration of rational engineering principles support design aspirations for anything from a super tall building to a familiar chair.

SynopsisArchitects are often fascinated by dramatic cantilevers. Indeed, cantilevers are widely used in architecture for various reasons and in different scales. This book is organized to present studies on the entire range of cantilevers employed in architecture: cantilevered furniture, cantilevered building components and significantly cantilevered major building parts, all primarily subjected to gravity loads; and finally a building as a whole, including supertall buildings of complex-shapes, as a vertical cantilever against lateral loads. Each chapter presents a specific subject on either horizontal or vertical cantilevers of different scales, functions and forms based on the following outline: brief historical review, basic structural principles, and holistic analysis of real world or theoretical examples. By presenting almost all different cantilever design scenarios in architecture, this book is a unique and essential reference on cantilever architecture. Book jacket., Cantilever Architecture shows you how to integrate cantilever designs into your building from conception, to help you create support-free structures without the need for columns or walls, whether for balconies, stairs, to occupy the air rights of the lot next door, or to build super tall buildings. The book includes 78 built case studies in 22 countries on 5 continents to illustrate various systems and their load carrying mechanisms at different scales. Includes an appendix on cantilevered furniture and more than 240 black and white images.
