/ Speed in implementation and lower cost in construction, Steel construction: An effective architectural style within safer and modern design
In the context of searching for the fastest and least expensive ways to build, a new style is emerging in the engineering and architectural landscape from Lebanon to the Arab region to Africa and the world.
This style consists of the use of iron or steel as a primary and sometimes basic structural material in engineering and architectural implementation.
This method of building is done with durable, strong and flexible material that can be designed into a variety of shapes, making it an ideal choice for construction.
Steel-made buildings are famous for their high resistance to fire and earthquakes, such as the earthquake that occurred in Turkey and Syria, and its repercussions reached Lebanon, as steel is more flexible than concrete, which makes it more resistant than any other building material.
In addition, steel construction is resistant to harsh weather conditions, which makes it a popular choice for commercial, industrial, and residential buildings.
The use of steel in construction often leads to faster implementation and lower costs in an environmentally friendly manner. However, it also requires specialized knowledge and skills, as well as the use of the appropriate tools and equipment, to ensure the safety and stability of the structure.
In this regard, architect Simon Barakat of the A20 Partners Company...
