Understanding the World’s Greatest Structures - Stephen Ressler

Written by Stephen Ressler

We see everywhere we go. Some of them are true beauties while others
are ugly as hell. I’m not talking about the women now, but the buildings!

In this course you will learn why and how buildings look the way they do,
function the way they do and why they have the form they have. In other
words you will not only learn to appreciate great buildings but also why
you should do that which is by understanding their underlying structures.

All buildings’ structures are governed by laws of physics which you will
learn in more simple terms throughout this course and after this course
you will be able to go out and look at any building with fresh new eyes!
