Materiality
Massive columns, beams, and cantilevers can be difficult to incorporate into a cohesive design concept, thus a new tendency has been to replace (wholly or partially) these bold structural features with more delicate lattice or tension structures. These ideas don’t fix all difficulties or guarantee aesthetic success, but they can help you build more shapely and graceful structures that are more human-scaled.
