    John Ochendorf is probably one of the best structural engineers of our time. He is not afraid to explore and admittedly make mistakes in the process. This is what really separates the men and women from the boys and girls. More and more we are going to have to learn how to work with seemingly limited resources; however, to say our resources are limited seems ridiculous considering earthen materials.

    you are really and crazy, and indoctrinated, I understand that they talk about reciprocal diagrams and this and that ... Study more. This is a pure monopoly on the knowledge of the great universities, Gaudí, Claudio Caveri, Felix Candela, Amancio, Williams, beats him by far. ^^with the story that in South America we are ignorant and donkeys.^^ knowledge of structures propose that you make your own experiences and you will be the best learning, it is easier than you imagine,

    Una prueba de la resistencia al fuego de este tipo de estructuras de bóveda de rasilla es que tradicionalmente, en España, se han empleado para la fabricación de los hornos para cocer el pan.

    En el sur de España se utilizó la bóveda de rasilla (ladrillo fino) hasta los años 70 del siglo pasado. Aún quedan viejos albañiles que dominan perfectamente la técnica constructiva con yeso vivo y ladrillo. Sobre todo para el volteo de las escaleras.

    no entiendo porque este conocimiento viene de Estado Unidos, como que si fuera de ellos, cuando se conoce bien quien era Guastavino, Felix Candela, A Javier Senosiain, Amanancio Williams, Antoni Gaudí, Heizman Isler, Niemeyer .., y nadie jamas vió a Pierl Luigi nERVI, aca en Cordoba vi una iglesia con una cupula de maposteria en espina de pez..seguramente muchos de esos maestros e bovedas catalanas llegaron como inmigrantes de la guerra. de última caso si no conseguis eso recnica, estas bovelas la haces con un fierro de 6 por abajo, pero en Buenos Aires lo tuvimo Caveri...que a diferencia de Zaha Hadi, Shumager, Frank Gery que usa rinoceros, que hacen edificios de plasticos, el trabajaba con la cupulas formas libre en forma artesanal...averiguen mas y se daran cuenta lo que es la arquitectura comercial , de revistas, con la arquitecturaa real, hecha a pulmon.
