  1. Regular Structures in an Irregular World: A Summary Leo E. Argiris April 1, 2004

  2. “Engineering is not a science, science studies particular events to find general laws. Engineering design makes use of these laws to solve particular problems. In this it is more closely related to art or craft; as in art its problems are underdefined, there are many solutions, good, bad and indifferent. The art is, by synthesis of ends and means, to arrive at a good solution.This is a creative activity involving imagination, intuition and deliberate choice.” Ove Arup
