Architecture & Infrastructure
24 catalogued entries
Architecture is the only discipline in the catalogue where girth is a deliberate decision rather than an accident of growth or a consequence of function. Somebody sat down, calculated a load, and then specified a column considerably fatter than the calculation required, because a building that looks like it might fall down is a building nobody enters. These entries are girth as reassurance.
