This book explores the increasingly complex nature of structural engineering projects, focusing on the diverse and accelerating relationships between various participants, including architects, project managers, planners, and relevant authorities. It highlights how modern projects are moving towards sustainable design, focusing on buildings that balance functionality, energy efficiency, recyclable materials, and economic benefits.

The author, Hans Sommer, emphasizes the importance of managing these projects effectively through clear communication and strong project management methods. Using examples from his own experience, Sommer outlines the key players in the structural engineering process, the tasks involved in planning and construction, and management strategies that contribute to the success of these projects.

This book is particularly valuable for professionals in structural engineering, construction management, and those interested in sustainable design principles. The inclusion of 182 color illustrations makes it both informative and visually engaging.
