In this article <jats:bold>Mark Burry</jats:bold> looks at a specific set of geometries ‐ doubly ruled surfaces ‐ that have been most explicitly developed by ‘structural artists’ Antoni Gaudí, Vladimir Shukhov and Félix Candela. He asks whether the application of doubly ruled surfaces like these might help us to make a significant distinction between architecture and sculpture.
