Abstract

In Modern Movement architecture, the structural elements of a building - mostly concrete or steel frames - form an indissoluble part of the original design approach. Therefore, such elements are part of the historic value of these buildings. At the same time, modern architects strove after minimal constructions. Our problem today is, how to preserve these slender constructions in harmony with the original architectural concepts, so that the ideas of the original designers remain perceptible.
