Modern architecture is experiencing a significant revolution in structural development. With the development of technology, the limits of technical feasibility of buildings are shifting. Modern skyscrapers, which now reach a height of 800 m, indoor stadiums with a diameter of more than 230 m, require more complex and durable technologies than those of the past. Their construction required much deeper theoretical knowledge in the design phase and new materials needed for construction. At the same time, the technological processes accompanying the erection of non-standard, i.e. special, buildings have become so important that they very often determine the architecture of these buildings. It is not the architect's responsibility to calculate complex structures, however he must possess elementary knowledge of building structures, in general he should know the type and distribution of internal forces and the way they are transferred to the supports, because in the absence of such knowledge structures are created that lack a coherent architectural and structural concept, in which the architectural and functional solution is created first and only then the structure is "adjusted". On the other hand, a structure designed logically, in accordance with the laws of nature, is usually simple, "clean", most economical and most often is "good architecture". It is important that in the broad process of designing a building, all participants communicate in a common language. As a summary of this preliminary information, it should be emphasized that good contemporary architecture should be characterized by unity of function and form of construction.
