A group of MIT alumni and teachers have collaborated to co-author Forms and Forces: Designing Efficient, Expressive Structures, a textbook that establishes a new approach to the learning of structural design. The book focuses on teaching the design of structures rather than just the mathematics involved in design. Professors and alumni involved in the project include: David M. Fox, Jeffrey Anderson, Prof. John Ochsendorf, Philippe Block, Michael Ramage, Joseph Iano, Simon Greenwold, and Nicole Michele.
