Werner Sobek is one of the leading engineers and structural designers of our time. His works have been awarded numerous distinctions and enjoy the highest reputation worldwide. They all excel through their high level of sophistication and innovation, both with regard to materials and structural systems, thus demonstrating impressively Werner Sobek's biggest asset: the capacity to design filigree, nearly dematerialised structures with perfect details, structures that are in true harmony with their form and function. This book presents a sample of the most important projects in the fields of design, materials, skins and structures.
