Precast and Architecture

There is no doubt that the connection between both of architecture and structure
engineering is very strong, actually we cannot talk about architecture without
mentioning the role of the structural design that is needed for a building to be
.accomplished

One of the things that help the designer make a design possible is sometimes pre-
casting, pre-stressing, or other things rather than the traditional way of constructing
at site. The differences might come in the materials, methods of implementation, or
.some other factors

In engineering, there are linked elements that if we think about one, we must think
-:about all so we make sure that the work is precise, those elements are

The design: the design has a direct link to all other elements, it is affected 1
strongly by them, so we always take them in consideration..
Architecture(structural zone and façade), Site( temporary stability)
.)detailing, and manufacturing ,
Architecture: linked strongly with the design and the detailing, which the 2
.architect takes in the consideration
Detailing: has to do with Architecture( services and façade details) and 3
.Manufacturing(integrated services)
Manufacturing: is effected by detailing and by the site(sequence of 4
.delivers)
.Site Erection: Affects the design and the manufacturing 5

Precast has become much developed through the last decade, serving the
design in and out; by having a taller skeleton walls, longer beams, deeper
floor units, and stronger columns. Also, they have become more ambitious
.and creative in terms of integrating structural and architectural engineering

?And now our question is: Why Precast

It has been proved that the precast method is very practical and is surely
economical, although the precast concrete method cannot compete with
structural steelwork frames in some cases, but having a mixture of both
.sometimes saves a lot of money and solves some of the design challenges
This is proved by having 75 per cent of the new multi-story buildings in the
.western world
