Abstract: Established engineering works and projects show us that architecture and structure projects must be conceived and developed together. Despite this, what we normally see is a relation of distance between these two elements of civil construction. This mini-symposium aims to bring together the two fields of knowledge and show that the design of the structural system plays an essential role in determining the architectural design. Projects that explore the relationship between architecture and structure and the direct relationship between form and structure, where the definition of the structural system has effective roll since the design of the projects, provide works marked by structural boldness and major technological challenges and advance. The mini symposium aims to gather contributions and obtain data that, through analyzes that use computational technologies and numerical methods, allow us to understand how the structural design allied to architectural creation provide innovative aesthetic results. Through these studies, it is possible to emphasize the importance of the technical knowledge for the realization of projects of good quality, evidencing the presence of the structural system in the architectural form. These analyzes contribute to the understanding of the importance of technical and technological knowledge for the production of an innovative architecture.
