In order to be able to design--understanding design to be, simultaneously, the essence of a buildable work and the body of representations and instructions that make it feasible--, the true architect works within the limits of what he can construct. The greater his universe of possibilities, the greater the freedom with which he designs. This text is an effort aimed at those who design and those who study how to design in order to expand that universe in the specific plane of the resistant shape.

Both the cases that are presented as well as the analysis made of them are limited, but there has been an attempt to bring them together in orderly fashion so that each reader can make up for the limitations of the text with his own knowledge and creativity.
