Fuller Moore, "Frames," Understanding Structures 1. "Lateral stability in frames may be provided by triangulation, joint rigitity, or shear walls." In Fig. 9.13 (Corbusier's Unite d'Habitation) one can see a rigid frame and shear walls providing lateral stability in the cross-sectional direction. How might stability be provided in the perpendicular (longitudinal) direction? 6b. Colin Rowe, "Chicago Frame," The Mathematics of the Ideal Villa and Other Essays 1. According to Rowe, how do Mies and Corb (representing the "Internation Style") and F.L. Wright differ in their approaches to space and structure? 2. How did the development and articulation of the frame differ in Chicago (representing "America") and Europe in the 1920s? |
