Cecil Balmond has been working with the international firm of consultingengineers Ove Arup and Partners for the past thirty year. He has collaborated withsome of the world’s most influential architects as James Stirling. Rem Koolhaas.Daniel Liberskind, etc on a variety of prestigious and award-winning architecturalprojects. His works continuously refreshes our understanding of structures andpromotes engineering as a totally creative activity.Balmond, however, has never got corresponding prestiges since being astructure engineer normally meants to stay behind the scene and work forbridging the gap between the architect and the builder. Until his new book<informal> was published in2002，Balmond began to receive the same honor ashis architect partners．With the deep research of the author, I escape from the book whichconcludes Cecil Balmond’s thinking pattern. I stand out as a third party andanalyse the different ways Cecil Balmond used to solve the structural problems indifferent projects. In this way, I can objectively understand his idea and informaltheory which are working for Structure and Architecture. Therefore, the authorwill according to the focus on the direction of the Balmond’s method which isdivided into" Delirium " and" the Generative Line", and through a large number ofcase by two chapters to conduct in-depth research. It elaborates the creatingprocess of Cecil Balmond on structure and the ways to show informal theory indifferent projects. According to Balmond research for structural division andarchitects in the popular problems at present to bring new possibilities.
