Special Issue on "Graphical methods for structural design". Graphic Statics is a graphical structural analysis and form-finding method that has been around since the 19th century. This method offers an attractive tool for designers of large span systems as it makes the relationship between structural form and forces explicit. With the revived architectural interest in free form, we witness a renaissance of methods. This triple issue is dedicated to graphical methods for structural design, presenting a most interesting collection of papers around the most recent and exciting developments in this field.
