    The document discusses the relationship between architectural and structural form in buildings. It provides examples of curved ribbed walls that enclose spaces like at the Licorne Soccer Stadium. Radial ribs and circumferential tubes are used in the Reichstag Cupola to provide structural support. Arches are also used, like at the Ludwig Erhard House, to synthesize architectural and structural form through repeated arches that span between supports.

    RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ARCHITECTURAL AND STRUCTURAL FORM 29

    ▲ 3.13 Licorne Soccer Stadium, Amiens, France, Chaix & Morel et Associés, 1999. Curved ribbed walls enclose the pitch and spectators.
    ▲ 3.14 Wall ribs, props and longitudinal girts.

    ▲ 3.15 The Reichstag Cupola, Berlin, Germany, Foster and Partners, 1999. Radial ribs
    and circumferential tubes. ▲ 3.16 Ludwig Erhard House, Berlin,
    Germany, Nicholas Grimshaw &
    Partners, 1998. Arched end of building as
    seen from the rear.

    the ribs provides them with additional horizontal stiffness through its
    in- plan ring-beam action. A circumferential moment-resisting frame
    similar to that of the Licorne Stadium lies within the dome surface to
    resist lat- eral loads.

    Arches also offer a potential synthesis of architectural and struc-
    tural form. At Ludwig Erhard House, Berlin (Fig. 3.16) repeated arches
