Synopsis

The principle of lever beam structure is that a beam is supported by two beams, and at the same time it is at least exposed to a beam loading, thereby forming an interactive support frame structure. This structure form was used in the vernacular architecture during the renaissance period and the example in China is the Rainbow Bridge. In recent years, there are related researches in the design teaching of many architecture schools. This book, starting from the basic principle of the lever beam structure, researches and investigates different deformations and their potential in the formation of the space. This book not only covers the authors research, but also includes his teaching achievements in the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Shengyan Middle School, China Academy of Art and China Southeast University.
