During the last decade, a few academic institutions have reintroduced in the academic curriculum Graphic Statics, a method for structural design developed during the XIXth century, to teach structures to students in architecture. A question that is currently receiving a great attention is how to teach Graphic Statics in a way that allows the students taking advantage of its potential in the development of structural concepts that enrich architectural design. This paper presents a design-oriented teaching approach based on Graphic Statics, which has been recently tested in a design project of a mater course at the ETH Zurich.
