This book deals with Raafat's theory “Material and
Geometric Structural Continuity “.The study follows historical growth of the series of geometric & material continuous designs from post and lintel towards maximum efficiency in use of materials in moncoque and tensile structures and resulting architectural forms and styles.
The theory covers most of structural materials and resulting structural and architectural forms, since early man trials in caves coming down to valleys using stones, wood, steel and concentrate and stretched natural and manufactured membranes.
The book discusses problems facing the architect designing with new continuous structural forms, and how he deals with them to achieve different architectural spatial and aesthetic goals.
