	Pier Luigi Nervi's Pierelli headquarters in Milano, Italy is a wonderful structure. Note the way in which the form of the load-bearing structure changes as a reflection of the magnitude of the internal forces. It is essentially a huge cantilever!
	The plan and the section of the Pirelli Building.
	The Vierzehnheiligen church was discussed in relationship to the light and the trusses. The slate covered neighboring structurees were also discussed.
	The "orgainic" form of the floor of Nervi which reflects the pattern of the primary stress pattern. This is sometimes known as the "flow of the forces" of the flat slab.
