No other construction material can match steel’s suitability for bridging long spans and realising unusual building geometries. “Slender. High. Long – Steel and Steel-Composite Structures” documents outstanding high-rise buildings and engineering structures in steel. This includes not only bridges, sports facilities, factories and exhibition halls but also administration and cultural buildings, such as the Oodi Central Library in Helsinki, the Adidas Arena in Herzogenaurach and the large-scale, accessible sculpture, The Vessel, in New York. In extensive text and expressive drawings, the engineers involved in their design explain the concepts of the steel and steel-composite structures and the solutions they found for realising them.
The book is the first in a three-part series on structural engineering design. Another volume will cover timber and timber hybrid structures, while a third deals with reinforced concrete.

– Detailed documentation of 20 examples of extraordinary structures

Am stark frequentierten Nordbahnhof der bedeutenden Wüstenstadt Be’er Sheva wurde mit der Fertigstellung einer rund 200 m langen Stahlbrücke eine wichtige infrastrukturelle Stadtverknüpfung geschaffen.

This new language marks a breakthrough of the traditional typology of a building with a ground floor, topped by story after story of identical floors, and a penthouse.

Functionality and simplicity of materials were the starting points for planning this villa in a northern neighborhood of Tel Aviv.

This concrete house in Tel Aviv by Bar Orian Architects features vertical louvres that can be either rotated to filter light or slid open to reveal the windows behind.

Tel-Aviv firms Bar Orian Architects and Rokach Ashkenazi Engineers have built a bridge in the Israeli city of Beersheba, featuring arches that create the shape of two eyes.

The project design is based on the principles of landscape-sensitive and ecological planning.
